Wow, The Festival of Quilts this year was just INCREDIBLE! The Handi Quilter team had an incredible time meeting community members, seeing all of the exhibits, and showing Handi Quilter machines to attendees.
At The Festival of Quilts, we partner with Pinhole Quilting, a Handi Quilter retailer in the United Kingdom. The Pinhole Quilting team is incredibly knowledgeable, and we had such a blast with them throughout the festival.
In this blog post, we cover:
- “Best in Show” award
- Quilt spotlights
- Photos from the team
Best in Show 2024 – The Festival of Quilts
Handi Quilter is proud to sponsor the “Best in Show” award at The Festival of Quilts. This year, Sue Sherman was awarded the prize for her quilt, titled “Dear Humans….”
We were in tight quarters to snag this photo, so we will update this post later on when we receive high resolution photos from The Festival of Quilts.
You can see a video of this quilt on our Instagram here.
