There were many wonderful landscape quilts at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.
This is Quiet: Little Stony Creek, by Tina Freudenberger
Check out her amazing waterfall detail.
Hope Wilmarth made this next quilt, called Shoreline Serenade.
This one gave me a joyous response, because about a year ago my husband and I visited the Grand Tetons National Park AND took a balloon ride there. It was the highlight of our trip! Although this quilt depicts a different area of the US Southwest, it really reminded me of our wonderful adventure.
It’s made by Carol Monti and called Quiet Side.
Here’s a detail shot. At first I thought the dark animals were bison, in line with my memory. But, as you can see, they’re cows.
Not actually landscape, but depicting natural vegetation, this quilt by Marianne Williamson, is called Summer Heat #2.
And, I guess my own quilt Florida Native #2 also falls into this nature category. It was there as part of the “Let the Sun Shine In” traveling exhibit.
I really enjoyed the show and hope to go again, sometime.
Did you have a favorite quilt from the show?
