Quilt the Beloved Country
Sisters, Jenny and Pat were born and grew up in Johannesburg, being third generation South Africans. Neither can remember a time in their lives when they were not surrounded by fabric and were not engaged in some form of handwork, be it dressmaking or embroidery. Therefore, when South african women started doing patchwork during the 70s it seemed natural for them to become involved in the quilting process.Sisters, Pat and Jenny were born and grew up in Johannesburg, being third generation South Africans. They started teaching quilting in 1978 and over the years have conducted basic, intermediate and advanced courses in piecing, applique, quilting and embroidery. They have taught courses at the South African National Quilt Festivals from 1988 up to the present time.
