"An Angel Watching Over Ewe" by Janet Stone won the Marie White Masterpiece Award at Road to California 2023.

Artist Statement: "Inspired by antique fracturs, this quilt was created in honor of my late mother, who passed away in 2012. The many designs in this quilt are my interpretations of antique fracturs.

My late Siamese cat, Mr. Siamese, also makes another appearance in this quilt. I added several hand covered buttons in this quilt which I had done for several prior quilts, but I needed something different for the alphabet blocks on the border.

I got online and found a source in Czechoslovakia who was selling vintage Dorset buttons that were reasonably priced. They are made out of cotton thread and were the perfect embellishment for the border. The inspiration for the angel came from 18th century headstones from the east coast cemeteries.

I think my mom would love this quilt, especially sharing it with Mr. Siamese, whom she loved."
