Mancuso Show 2024

Marsha and I spent most of Wednesday either getting lost on the way to the Mancuso show or actually at the Mancuso show. We had a good day. Neither of us had the same stamina that we've had in previous years and -- correct me if I'm wrong, Marsha -- neither of us got to see the entire show. But that was okay. We liked a lot of what we saw, we did a bit of retail therapy, we had lunch at the buffet. I ran into about a dozen members of my Guild, my niece and her friend, Liza Lucy, and a friend from church. My sister was there, I understand, but our paths did not cross. Neither of us cared for the Best Of Show quilt; hence, no picture of it. I didn't take many photographs, but here they are:




This was one of the first quilts that I saw and I was captivated by it. Perhaps you can enlarge it by clicking on it. I was dazzled by the details.


Her Majesty.


This was what looked like a fun exercise for something-or-the-other. Of course I had to look at the colors and find my birthday piece.


Looks as though a lot of people were born around the 14th of their month.


There was an exhibit of Lancaster Diamond quilts. Most were not full-size and it was interesting to see the individual interpretations of the pattern. I didn't put mine in the exhibit because it was in the show last year. I liked the colors in this medium-size LD.


This LD has interesting use of sashing and cornerstones.


My friend Polly made this gorgeous NYB using Sarah Bond's patterns. I hadn't seen it before and was just gobsmacked!

Hate to say this but Her Majesty is HM not HerRoyal Highness!
Thank you for posting - I like to see what's going on.

Someone somewhere commented that she'd gone to the AQS Lancaster show and found it wanting -- both you and Grace have posted positively about this one. Glad you and Marsha had a nice outing!

My niece(from Lancaster) thought the AQS was too expensive to attend. Registration charge, plus admittance, plus parking. And that was all before seeing a quilt. They have a beautiful facility, why they decided to charge for parking might be a bit greedy. Too bad. Dotti in CT

What wonderful quilts and I appreciate your sharing the photos. Am glad you and Marsha got to go.
I hear you about lack of stamina and although I was able to attend the Houston for 10 years, I certainly couldn't do it now. Blasted lupus fatigue!

Hugs!

Your pictures are wonderful! I always enjoy the Mancuso show in Hampton, VA at the end of February. One price for all four days admittance.

Please check your email, my friend! I have a couple of questions for you.
Thank you!

Hugs!
