On our way to the Academy of Appliqué in Williamsburg this past weekend, Kara and I (Teri) first traveled to Hampton, Virginia, to see the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. As we entered the exhibit, we were greeted by this incredible Baltimore Album-style quilt,
Threads of Friendship (Carol's Gift), by Barbara Korengold, which won first place in Best Hand Workmanship, Traditional. This photo does not nearly do it justice, but you can see how magnificent her work is. The embroidery just made the quilt sing!
Enjoy some details below.

Hope you enjoyed these winners as much as we did! Congratulations to each of these stitchers; you surely deserve the recognition you received.
There is more to come for the Festival, but for now, we will bid you adieu. Happy stitching!

Breathtaking! Such amazing work. I was so happy to see that Cheryl See won best of show. She is amazing and it is rare these days to see a hand quilted quilt win top honors. Kudos!
