"Ice Lilies" by Andrea Brokenshire won Best Stationary Machine Workmanship Award at AQS QuiltWeek - Grand Rapids 2024.
Artist Statement: "I have always loved Stargazer lilies and this one is planted next to my great-grandmother's Snowball bush. I love the juxtaposition between the smooth leaves of the lily and the serrated leaves of the Snowball bush. The challenge for me in this quilt was to create the different textures between the two. My focus was the stems and leaves, but of course, the lilies themselves are just wonderful too."
