The Promise of Spring
Mid-Atlantic officially starts on Thursday, February, 28th and lasts until Sunday, March 3rd. This is my favorite time and place to see the works of other talented quilting artists and get inspired as well as see what is new at some of the vendor booths.
Local quilt guilds like River Country Quilt Guild in Gloucester have an exhibit entitled "The Promise of Spring."
Peninsula Piecemakers Quilt Guild also has a challenge exhibit. Here are few of my favorites...
