"Rondo" by by Sachiko Chiba won the Best Hand Workmanship Award at 2022 AQS QuiltWeek in Grand Rapids.
Artist's Statement:"I wanted to keep the beautiful flowers in my quilt forever. In particular, it took me a very long time to write the design. I sewed the flowers, being careful to choose the right fabric to make them look more realistic. I hope I can describe the stunning beauty of the flowers."
It took Sachiko 1 1/2 years to make Rondo and she used hand appliqué, hand quilting, hand embroidery, machine piecing, beading, and trapunto to create this multiple award winning quilt, which also won at Road 2 CA.
