Featured Quilt - Best of Show at the 2025 Australian Quilt Show


Bronwyn Hill won Best of Show at the 2025 Australian Quilt Show for her astounding quilt, Horatio. Bronwyn's work is phenomenal, and she had this to say about the inspiration and creation of her quilt. ""Horatio" the Hippocampus came from the formidable structure and shape of the HMS Victory. Cutting a strong presence through the ocean. Simple beginnings from a detailed drawing on brown paper. Hand selected fabrics and detailed quilting create a form of strength and power, pushing forward from the ferocious crashing waves." Congratulations Bronwyn!
