"Night at the Tree Lot" by Hanne Lohde was featured in the Alternative Techniques category at Houston 2025.

Artist Statement: "Have you ever stopped to think about what goes on at a Christmas tree lot after all the people go home at night? My quilt tells the story about what happens when the snowmen come alive, and the gnomes and forest animals all come out to decorate the trees at night. Some mornings, the old man who lives in the trailer cannot understand why he is so tired. He has totally forgotten that he was partying and helping everyone decorate the night before!"

Techniques: Hand Appliqué, Embellishment, Embroidery, and Dyeing; Machine Quilting
