Jeanie O'Sullivan's Ties That Bind was inspired by the importance of family, represented here through nature. "Forget-me-not flowers represent memories - bound together within the net of the family we are given and the family we choose." Winning Best Of Country for New Zealand in the World Quilt Competition at PIQF 2019, "the quilt is hand appliquéd over a pieced background and hand quilted." So much intricate detail is packed into each flower makes this a quilt not to be missed.

Ties That Bind by Jeanie O'Sullivan of New Zealand won Best Of Country in the World Quilt Competition at the Pacific International Quilt Festival (PIQF) 2019.
