More Quilt Winners from Quilt West Perth WA

Last Blog I showed you a winning quilt from Rebecca Stewart-Bartlett who won one of the prizes from Punch with Judy. I was delighted when Rebecca visited my stand to thank me. This doesn't happen often so I am always delighted when I meet a recipient of a prize I sponsor. What floored me was that Rebecca said she'd entered FIVE quilts and gave me the number of another winning quilt of hers. When I grabbed a few minutes spare, the white glove ladies kindly ushered me to where it may be. I was thrilled to think it was one I'd already taken pics of because I thought it amazing. So, well done Rebecca.

Keep in mind, I flip around the quilts snapping here and there any which take my fancy or are of interest to my Online Students, usually grabbing a few mins before opening on a Sunday. Not much time for perfect photography etc. and sometimes I miss something. Forgive me.

So, let me show you REBECCA STEWART-BARTLETT'S quilt "MORRIS HILL MANOR" which was RUNNER-UP for BEST OF SHOW plus THE BEST LONGARM MACHINE QUILTING plus FIRST PRIZE in the ALL TRADITIONAL QUILTS - PROFESSIONAL section.  Whew!

  2. They are indeed quilts of wonder, all beautiful creations. You are most welcome. I think many more enjoy what they never get a chance to see. Particularly, the closeups. What do others think and want to see?
