No Return,
Anne Lillholm Jorgensen,
Nuenen, Netherlands
Artist’s statement: “No Return is my
interpretation of a journey from birth to
death. Light moments, darker moments, ups
and downs. I have used the colour and the
movement for showing this. The quilted arrows
show the way in life ... one way ... no return.”
Cotton fabrics, wool/polyester batting. Hand
appliquéd, longarm machine quilted.Winner, Traditional Quilts

Wales
Artist’s statement: “The Orange Peel
pattern was the starting point of this
quilt, with various appliqué patterns I
designed inserted in the centres. Fabrics
were bought several years ago on a trip to
Pennsylvania. I enjoy hand stitching but of
course it does mean that everything takes
an age to finish!”
