Echoes of the Land
18-21st Spetember 2025
European Quilt Show
Val D'Argent, Alsace
France
“Echoes of the Land” aims to capture the enduring essence of the landscape and its flora, highlighting its timeless quality despite constant change. It is an echo, a reflection of reality, perhaps evoking memories of travel. It is Lois’s creative interpretation of what she perceives, re-imagined through her personal lens of shapes, patterns, and colour, from landscapes to representational abstraction.

Homage to the Shoo Fly
This piece was one of 20 quilts selected to be in the Aotearoa Quilters Members Challenge "Light It Up" travelling exhibition for 2023/24.
For more details, please visit our Awards page.
Artists Statement:
When light patterns are cast upon the platform high up in the tree tops of the Night Lights Tree Walk in the Redwoods, Rotorua, they become the inspiration for a modern interpretation of the Shoo Fly quilt pattern. A hand painted pattern which lights up and sparkles under spotlights.
Gentle Upon The Eucalypt
This artwork is currently touring Australia with Ozquilt Networks AW8 (Australia Wide Eight) exhibition, a juried biennial exhibition.
Artists Statement:
As the breeze gently breathes across the thickness of foliage a glimpse of sky pushes through.
Sunlight plays across the surfaces creating light and shadow penetrating and highlighting the structure of the individual leaves.
Changing the view sometimes dense in colour sometimes translucent always changing always delighting the senses.
Abundance on Exhibit in Japan
“Abundance” has been home briefly before heading off to the Quilts for Hitachi Project for the 19th Friendship Quilt Exhibition 2024 in Hitachi, Japan.
Hitachi is Tauranga’s sister city and I have had a quilt at a few of these exhibitions.
Artists Statement:
An abundance of Eucalypt flowers in full bloom glow in the soft morning light. These trees are growing proud, strong and straight; healthy with an abundance of leaves and vibrant flowers. The symbolism associated with Eucalyptus is strength, protection and abundance.
