Elizabeth Quilt

As we hadn’t done a Show & Tell for a while, Elizabeth showed us her stunning hand-pieced quilt – a Karen Cunningham (from Australia) design.  This one is quite breathtaking “in the flesh” and was way too big for any of us to hold up off the dirty floor!

Elizabeth had the quilt machine-quilted in Oz by (I forget!)
