During the Civil War, Maryland, a slave-holding state, lay \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003ebelow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003e\n the Mason-Dixon Line but chose to remain with the Union. So is it\nSouthern or Northern? Then, consider that Washington, D.C., a wholly\ndistinct commonwealth tucked within Maryland’s borders, is considered\nMid-Atlantic, shouldn’t Maryland be Mid-Atlantic too? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eConsensus or no, you and your friends\n should all agree that Maryland’s remarkable geography is more than just\n lines on a map. From its swamps on the Chesapeake Bay to the beaches at\n the Atlantic Coast; from its vast tracts of farmland to its Appalachian\n Mountain peaks; from serene riverbanks to the city sidewalks of\nBaltimore (population: 6 million), Maryland has been called “America in\nMiniature” for all the variation within the US’s seventh-smallest state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eThere is nothing small about the\nhearts of the Maryland quilt folks we met, however. We visited the\nhistoric Dentzel Carousel in Glen Echo Park with Nisha Bouri and Kim\nMartucci, the owners of Brimfield Awakening, a quilting store built on\ntheir friendship. We spent time on the Eastern shore with Victoria\nMcConnell, president of the Fiber Arts Center of the Eastern Shore, and\npopped into a UFO meeting with its members. And most readers will be\nfamiliar with Baltimore Album quilts, whose out-sized legacy is\nstewarded by the Baltimore Appliqué Society. (Quilty tip: Make sure to\nget a look at Maryland’s state flag, which we think looks a lot like\npatchwork.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eOnce you take a trip with us through\nbeautiful Maryland, we think you’ll understand why three different\nregions of America want to call it their own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003e180 pages (16 extra pages!), offset printed and perfect bound, full color on uncoated paper.
