"Climb Every Mountain" by Kazuyo Doi won First Place - Abstract at Houston International Quilt Festival 2024.
Artist Statement: "I am grateful for my mother, who loved life. She suddenly passed away while gathering cherry tomatoes in her mountain cottage garden on a hot summer day. Each appliquéd circle on the left side, both the colored and the white ones, represents an alphabet that I designed and named The Tomato Code. It reminds me of her life and encourages me at the same time."
