I just returned from Hampton, Virginia and the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival. I had not taught at this event for many years and it was nice to return to the area. Great students, great classroom space and a great show. Here are some of the ladies working hard in my Hand Applique class.
I was thrilled to meet and teach three generations of the Mitchell-Alveraz family: from left to right: Cydnee, Dee and Barbara. What a fabulous family outing.
Here are a few of the many wonderful quilts hanging in the show:
“Just Ruffling Some Feathers” by Gina Boone of Advance, North Carolina was awarded First Place for Best Longarm Machine Workmanship

Becky Brown of Montpelier, VA won First Place for Best Hand Workmanship for “Quental Vases”
What I loved about Becky’s quilt was her stems. If you look closely she used not one, but two fabrics in the stems to give them more depth and dimension.
“The Blood Remembers” created by Sandy Curran of Newport News, VA was awarded 3rd Place in the Innovative category.

Got home last night and off this afternoon for Indiana. Until the week after next … Karen on the Road Again!
