AQSG 2018 part 2

Hello!
Here are the rest of the photos from the ASQG 2018 Seminar in Bethesda.  Congratulations again to the ladies who put on the seminar this year.

First: The Quilt Study is a bi-annual opportunity to study a quilt and make a smaller version.  The theme this year was Solid Colors.

My quilt was not selected to be in the travel exhibit.  I think I deviated too much from the original.  But hey, that's my style and I like it so I'm happy.  I called it Wagon Wheels.

This was my inspiration quilt.  I studied the placement and symmetry of the fan blades.  

 Here are some that I really liked (I liked others too, but photography was a challenge).

Congratulations Cynthia!  What a fun and happy quilt.  I'm so glad it was selected to travel.

And Congratulations to Wendy and Laurie!  You did an amazing job on your collaboration.  You girls nailed it for sure.

Beautiful Hawaiian quilt

Here are quilts that were in a special Maryland exhibit.

now that is a STUFFED berry!

I was literally obsessed with this quilt.   I returned a couple of times just to stand by it.

I have never stippled, have you?

I was enamored of the red cables.  I would love to incorporate g this in a quilt one day.

 So I guess it wasn't enough to have a dillion leaves and stuffed berries, she also chain embroidered stems between the leaves with yarn.....yes YARN.

I want to acknowledge that there was excellent signage in this exhibit.  It was just difficult to get photos without people.

Marge and I studied this quilt for some time.  It is so odd the way they orientated the blocks.  They go every which way! 

The amount of Applique is breathtaking.

 Xenia presented a research paper on the urn and vine quilts of the Ohio Valley.  Here were two examples.

Notice the pops of cheddar in these.  Just Lovely!

I brought show and tell and then slept under it.  It is a treat when your driving and can bring everything.....like wine and sewing.

I have finished the first 2 blocks of my Whig Rose.  I am currently setting up the last two blocks so they are ready to stitch this winter.

Fall has arrived in New England and I am loving the color and cooler weather.

So is coco!

I hope you have enjoyed the photos from Seminar.
