Quilting Path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Winning quilter, Barbara Korengold, has NEVER taken a quilt class and says she is \u201cself-taught.\u201d She has been quilting for about 15 years, following a lifetime of other needle arts (knitting, needlepoint, etc.). Bobbie\u2019s focus is on applique quilts.  She draws on the literature for her theme ideas and does her own designing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although most of her work is intended for her family, this humble quilter, does enter some of them in competitions including multiple AQS<\/a> shows, Mancuso shows, Quilt Odyssey<\/a>, and the Vermont Quilt Festival<\/a>. Bobbie says that she is always interested in judges\u2019 critiques of the technical side of her work but is pretty confident about what she wants to do aesthetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering the Road@Home Quilt Contest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bobbie said she entered Road to California\u2019s first ever online show, Road@Home, because of the ease provided by the virtual aspect. \u201cIt was really just on a lark \u2013 I figured I had nothing to loose, including the quilt in shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She entered Threads of Friendship (Carol\u2019s Gift) <\/em>in the category, \u201cCould be Grandma\u2019s Quilt,\u201d<\/a> because it was hand quilted using inspiration from original 19th century Baltimore album quilts. This quilt took Bobbie two and a half years to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The techniques Barbara Korengold utilized in her winning quilt included traditional needle turn applique, hand embroidery, trapunto, and hand quilting.   <\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Quilting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When asked what she was going to do with Threads of Friendship (Carol`s Gift) <\/em>after she won, Barbara Korengold replied, \u201cIt\u2019s folded up in the linen closet with the rest of my quilts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2021, Barbara Korengold intends to \u201cJust to enjoy the process, which I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
