A steady stream of Alabama Farmers Federation members cycled through displays of quilts, table runners and wreaths, hoping to see winning ribbons hanging next to entries created by peers from their home counties.

Across five sewing and wreath-making contests, 13 talented crafters received top prizes.

St. Clair County’s Tamara Rashleigh won the Machine-Stitched Quilt contest while Trevor Wicks placed second in the Youth Division Commodity-Themed Table Runner contest.

The annual contests are sponsored by the Alabama Farmers Federation’s Women’s Leadership Division and take place during the Federation’s Farm & Land Conference. The city of Montgomery hosted this year’s conference Aug. 1-3.

To promote Alabama agriculture, fabric entries must be made of cotton. Table runners and wreaths must feature a specific commodity.

First-place winners receive $150, second-place $100 and third place $75.
