This year Julie is entering one of her latest Quilts into The Festival of Quilts show at NEC Birmingham, The Quilt is called My Yokohama. This Quilt is Julie's version of Yoko Saito's House on The Hill. She thoroughly enjoyed making this Quilt adding her own details throughout, using various hand applique methods & finding the right fabric. Quilted on her Longarm in a naïve style to complement the design. Hand guided without computer aid.
