Past Workshops
The Gypsy Wife Quilt
For two wonderful two days (September 30 and October 1, 2018), Dianne Jansson from Di-Versity quilting in Pritchard guided us through the intricacies of the Gypsy Wife quilt. We had lots of fun playing with colour and some exciting new blocks as we made a start on this stunning quilt. (Click on images to enlarge; use side arrows to navigate.)
