Our Gold Thread Award is a way for EGA chapters and regions to recognize outstanding individuals who have given freely of their time and talents, and best exemplify EGA’s purpose.
We would like to congratulate the winners of our 2022 Gold Thread Award, these are members who make our chapters thrive. They inspire stitchers to stretch their talents, encourage new embroiderers to join us, and generally make us pleased and proud we are part of this organization.
The 2022 National Gold Thread Award Winner is Kim Sanders, who was selected from the region winners and announced at our National Seminar in New York City. Visit our National Gold Thread Award Winners page to see national winners from past years.
