Jeni’s ‘Shapes and Whimsy’ quilt

Jeni’s gorgeous ‘Shapes and Whimsy’ quilt combines her embroidery and quilting skills, and was made with techniques learned in a three day class with Karen John (who also designed the quilt) at My Sewing Supplies at Lindfield. Jeni is an accomplished embroiderer, but she learned some new stitches and ways of using embroidery to enhance quilting, piecing and appliqué in the class.

It is so detailed, we think you’ll want to see each block in
closer detail.
