Today we are thrilled to welcome our 2019 Aurifil Artisan Team. We were incredibly humbled by the enormous response that we received to our call for applications. We had a very tough job in narrowing down over 250 applicants to a team of 50. We are so thrilled to share that team with you today and cannot wait to work with this amazing group of quilters, sewists, and makers!
We’ll be collaborating with these creative visionaries throughout the coming year to promote their work with Aurifil thread, engage them in creative challenges, and share their work far and wide.

Congratulations to all ! It’s going to be a fabulous year….
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the wonderful assortment of energies and creative visions .. so delighted that there are some men on the team also .. we need more male role models in the fabric arts so that young boys growing up can see that making with fabric is one more option for creativity for them …
Very excited to be a part of this again!! It has been fun sharing my love for Aurifil!
I am so excited to be back for another year! Congrats to all of my fellow artisans, and thank you so much to the Aurifil team for the opportunity!
Congratulations to all the great designers selected!
