Sheppard’s quilt, Thread Journey, will be on display at the show along with many other quilts, all
competing for prizes. Winners will be selected at the show and announced on the M-AQF website,

President of Mancuso Show Management David Mancuso says, “Quilting is truly textile art. Every quilt
that is displayed at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival takes great skill and talent to make it come to life.
This quilt competition incorporates pieces from the best quilters in the U.S. that will be judged, and on
display to be enjoyed by quilt enthusiasts and other quilt artists.”
Besides the competition quilts on display, the Quilt Festival will feature workshops and lectures taught
by a renowned faculty, a wearable art competition, a fashion show, Game Zone, a Merchant’s Mall and
a beautiful collection of special exhibits including many presented by local quilt guilds.
