The 2006 A Stitch in Time juried quilt show (held in Picton on July 8th & 9th) selected Elizabeth Norris as its recipient of the OQC ribbon for her large wall hanging was entitled "Summer".
It was machine pieced and quilted, featuring log cabin blocks, appliqué and ribbon embroidery on the flowers. She was inspired by a quilt featuring
dahlias in Better Homes and Gardens and interpreted her rendition in
poppies.
As poppies seed beyond the borders of the garden, so poppy blossoms
went beyond the inner border of the quilt as the flowers tumble over
the edge. Elizabeth selected vibrant colours for her award winning
wall hanging. She machine quilted flower-like petals of different
shapes over her quilt.
