Last weekend, before we set up our classroom at the Academy of Appliqué, Kara and I (Teri) spent the morning at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, Virginia. We enjoyed the many stellar examples of quilts on display, as well as some fabulous vendors and their offerings.
Today, I'd like to share the special exhibit by the Baltimore Appliqué Society: Bits of Baltimore and Beyond. These lovely quilts will be auctioned in the fall of 2018. Who knows . . . you may be so excited by these small beauties that you will find yourself bidding on one! Not only would you own a lovely example of appliquéd workmanship in the Baltimore Album style, but you would be helping to preserve and promote the art. No more words from me—we hope you enjoy the exhibit as much as we did!
