Guest Quilter

The guest quilter for 2015 will be the fabulous Rhonda Pearce. Rhonda has lived in the Blue Mountains for over 30 years and owned Post Office Patchwork in Glenbrook for around 17 years. Her background in professional dressmaking has assisted her in choosing fabrics, working with colour and creating inspiring designs.
In 2013 Rhonda's quilt 'Baltimore Classic' was accepted into the Houston Quilt Show in the U.S.A. She won the Viewers Choice section and 1st place in the Professional Applique section. Quite an achievement!

Rhonda has been involved in the  'Cocktail Quilters' at Glenbrook for the past 12 years. This group holds a show every 3 years at Glenbrook to display their gorgeous designs.
Another of Rhonda's beautiful quilts is 'My Patchwork Journey', consisting of hand applique and hand quilting.

Imagine the years it took to create the quilt top and then complete the hand quilting!  And check out that border-all hand stitched!

Rhonda and her finished work.

Rhonda will have more time to work on quilts now that she has sold her shop in Glenbrook and is looking forward to working on many projects for her grandchildren.
You will be able to visit Rhonda and check out her patterns on stage at the show in April 2015 where she will be available to discuss her projects and display her quilts.
In the shade of the trees outside her home Rhonda displays her intricate work in 'Baltimore Symphony.'

Can't wait to see what other surprises Rhonda has to show us at next year's show!
