Teri Young and Kara Mason have been stitching partners for more than 25 years and
have been in business together for over nine years. Kara and Teri began teaching at
local quilt shops in 2014, focusing on appliqué, embroidery, and ribbon work. They feel
honored to have had their original Baltimore Album-style quilt, A Fairy Tale Album,
hanging in exhibits in Houston, Chicago, England, and Virginia. They have lectured and
taught at guilds across the country and internationally, and have taught a series of
workshops for the Baltimore Appliqué Society as well as at their local quilt shops. For
the past eight years, they have been teaching at the Academy of Appliqué in
Williamsburg, Virginia, and have taught several years at Baltimore on the Prairie. Their
quilt designs include In the Garden, Lovely Botanicals, Woodland Reverie, Baltimore
Fraktur, Village Wanderings, Flora and Fauna, and Love’s Journey, which was exhibited
in Nantes, France. Their appliqué designs, whether in wool or cotton, are always
brought to life with embellishment of some sort—ribbon, roving, or any fiber that will fit in
their needles. Wanting every student to experience success, their teaching style is an
encouraging “don’t panic, it’s organic” approach that focuses on enjoying the process
while learning new skills. This stitching partnership is now living back on the same side
of the pond, but their designs have been greatly influenced by their international travels.
