Doodle D’Or by Edna Wark from our Permanent Collection

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 2021 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 National Gold Thread Award Winner will be selected from the region winners and announced at our National Seminar in Chicago.
