Above the Clouds Quilt and Garden Show

The 2nd Annual "Quilts in the Gardens" show is being held Saturday, July 12th in Woodland Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.


I understand from one of the organizers that this was a BIG hit last year and promises to be even better this year.


It is organized by the Quilters Above the Clouds, a relatively new quilt guild with over 60 members from the surrounding Teller and Park counties.


The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday with a visit to the the Ute Pass Cultural Center at 210 E. Midland in Woodland Park. The map to the three private gardens will be available there as well as quilting demonstrations, historical quilts on display and vendor booths.


The garden portion of the show will be located in three premier private gardens around Woodland Park and will be easily found by the map provided. Admission to this event is free.


Anyone wanting to display one of their own creations must call Aline at 719-686-0121 for more information. Deadline for delivery of quilts to display is July 6 and the entry fee is $5 for the first quilt and $2.50 for each additional.


What a great way to spend a day out of the city heat. I plan to be there for at least a couple hours that day with a possible fun lunch at one of many fine eateries in Woodland Park.
