It is a double delight when a quilt show is held in an historic public building. Not only can you enjoy the rich beauty and history of the building, but also the wonderful workmanship of the quilts that have been displayed.
Recently TQS member Barb Gardner attended the 2009 Capitol Quilt Show in Denver, Colorado. This bi-annual show, organized by the Colorado Quilting Council, showcases 250 quilts made by quilters from the guild as well as around the state. The 18-story Capitol building, designed by Elijah E. Myers, sits at exactly 5,280 feet and is a prominent feature of the Denver skyline. It is also the perfect backdrop for displaying quilts.
