    Default Local craft show

    Or, as my 23-month-old DGD called it, a crab show. Understandably, as this is blue crab country. One table had a plethora of mug rugs on it, and the lady asked me if I knew what they were called. I said yes, mug rugs. She said no one has ever known what they were. There really isn't a quilting community in Baltimore, I guess. I didn't buy any, but I got the cutest cookie plates on candlestick pedestals; one for granny and one for Valerie. Valley picked the Santa one, granny chose sunflowers. Fun morning.

    I would imagine that there would be sewing groups everywhere there making those gorgeous Baltimore Album quilts. Maybe they make them in secret?

    When I give a mug rug as a gift I put it with a mug so that their is less explaining to do. I am using the scraps of the quilts I am making as Christmas gifts to make mug rugs to match and hopefully I can find coordinating mugs at the dollar store. I think it will be cute because the quilts are all lap/couch quilts.

    I like Crab fair, little moments like that are the best.

    Wow - we're practically neighbors. I have friends on Hilltop, just a couple blocks from the high school, and I used to work at Bishop Cummings Church....

    Oh not so. Baltimore Albums are alive and well. There are several Baltimore Quilt groups on Yahoo Groups with oner 1200 members. You may find some local interest in the Baltimore Heritage Quilters Guild. And if you search (Google, Bing) Baltimore Album Quilts, you come up with lots of quilter information.
