The queen demands your presence at the 37th annual Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival👑

This weekend the safari spirit is alive and roaming the quilt competition! There’s no shortage of breathtaking creatures stitched into fabric—and this mesmerizing wall quilt is no different. Awarded Best Longarm Machine Workmanship, “The Queen” by Leigh A. Layton is a beautiful representation of one of the world’s most wonderful animals. Regal in stature and powerful in presence, Leigh captures the quiet dignity of a creature whose existence in the wild is sadly disappearing. Every intricate line enhances the lionesses grace, bringing texture and movement to an already commanding piece.

If you’ve admired the king of the jungle, it’s only fitting to come pay respect to the queen! Check out the full list of winners on our website, https://bit.ly/4cTwOGT.

Started working on a “ufo” I’ve had for awhile. I do like birds. All are painted with ink markers and incorporated into the rings. This is a fun quilt that is great for photos and fancy stitches!
