(Jenny’s award-winning quilt, and one of her most popular)
Sharman’s Vintage Garden is a center medallion king-sized quilt surrounded by 16 embroidered blocks. These blocks are pieced using the ‘fussy-cut’ technique for the lattice sashing, which is then framed by floral fabric borders.

The embroidered blocks in Sharman’s Vintage Garden can be stitched with the new larger hoops, (350mm x 360mm) as each block can be sewn in one hooping! The blocks can, however, also can be sewn in smaller hoops, using the multi-hooping technique along with Jenny’s Template Magic to ensure perfect placement of designs. The embroidery designs for both techniques
are on the accompanying CD
