Ballaarat Quilters

Robyn with her beautiful quilt which won our 2018 Challenge, “What’s in your garden?”

Congratulations for Heather Hagen’s outstanding identification of 9 of the quiltmakers out of 26 – well ahead of the crowd. It was a challenging field of clever and imaginative interpretation of the flowers and stones of your birth month. This is a sample of the work.

Congratulations Ruth Nunn of the viewers choice – a December representation of turquoise and narcissus.
