Spring Quilts


At the April meeting we had a display of the results of the Spring Challenge: make a quilt maximum size 24" on the theme of 'Spring'. We then voted with pennies to see which 3 quilts would win a prize of a quilting book. The bag above made by Jackie was the most popular. It is a very clever play on the word spring with a beautifully made picture of Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout! Well done Jackie!

The other two winners were:
Pippa's daffodils blowing in the wind features lovely machine stitching which adds the movement to the flowers and leaves, and a hand quilted background. Pippa drew the picture herself.

Mandy's tulip quilt has a beautiful country look and the hand applique and quilting is perfect!

Congratulations to all our winners and thank you to all the entrants who took the time to make a quilt and share it with us.
