June Show and Tell

This one is called Disappearing Nine Patch made from a 4 inch wide fabric pack.  This belongs to Barbara Clarke.

 

 

 

Jenny Rattenbury and her Husband Rob have just celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversay (Congratulations) and she made this wall hanging for him.

 

 

 

This next quilt by Jenny Worsley has been named "Judy Potts Quilt". We both discovered that we were doing the same quilt but Jenny was only going to do 12 stitchery blocks instead of 24 but I kept encouraging her to continue and now she is pleased she did.

 

 

Here is a close up of the beautiful stitchery.

 

Another of Jenny's Quilts. This one was a block of the month.

 

 

Jenny has been busy, she started this one about 3 or 4 years ago and has just had it quilted.

 

 

This is a close up of the block.
