Here we go!
My friend Renea and I made an overnight trip to the Mid-Atlantic quilt show on Thursday; it was my intention to upload some of the pictures to be shared on Saturday but that didn't happen. It was a great show but I was wiped out when I got home Friday evening!
Oh my, there were so many great guild challenges this year! Themes such as Living on the edge (designing with selvages); Lovely as a tree; Take a shot [at expressing yourself]; Color squared (one-color, 12-inch mini-quilts); Dream big - stretching art and tradition; and of course the Hoffman challenge.

Anabeth Dollins of Pittsburg named this one "Around Town." 365 days, 365 blocks...

Mary Kerr of Woodbridge set 9 Dresden Plate blocks from the 1940s in a sea of white...
The pictorials were awesome:
I hope you can biggie size these to see details!
I hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I enjoyed the Mid-Atlantic show! I have more to share, so come back tomorrow. Sew forth and sew on
Beautiful quilts - you must have had a great time at the show!
