2022 Bed-Size Quilt Awards
Jane O’Clair

“Serenity”
Measures 96 x 89 inches
I designed the quilt around the panel using applique block patterns from the book Circles of the East by Kumiko Sudo and preprinted sashiko blocks purchased on lines as well as designing one of my own (the circling koi fish). The sashiko was all done by hand. Quilting is all hand guided designed by me and done on my Innova long
arm using several different thread types and colors.
Frances Baker
Buskirk, NY
“It Takes a Village”
Measures 89 x 89 inches
In order to learn more about machine embroidery, I took a class at the Sewing Garrett while in Florida. Little did I know what I was getting into with this quilt. I learned a lot about my machine and embroidery. I had lots of help along the way.
2022 Wall Quilt Awards
“Favorite Birds”
Frances Broomhall, Shaftsbury, VT
Measures 64 x 64 inches
I love birds so I named it Favorite Birds. The birds were hand drawn, hand embroidered and hand quilted by me. I took the images from different sources – magazines, books, etc.
“Trip Around the Sun”
Annette Dixon, Pownal, VT (Lisa Norton Designs, Material Girlfriends)
Measures 60 x 60 inches
This quilt was a Block of the Month pattern. I eagerly looked forward to each block being delivered as it contained so many of my favorite things: 1) Applique (as well as piecing); 2) Animals & birds; 3) The Four Seasons and 4) It was perfect for beautiful batiks! This was my second Block of the Month quilt and I am now awaiting a 3rd. I can’t wait!
