June 2022 - Ring a Ring of Roses 

Welcome to the first month in our new year of The Secret Society! We are so happy to have some of you back and of course welcome the newcomers too! This quilt has been in my mind for a while, I have always been so inspired by vintage red work, and a lot of red work was originally based on nursery rhymes. I have a collection of nursery rhyme books with some stunning illustrations, which were bought for my children, but probably brought me more joy than them!! What a year ahead we have, I can't wait to bring you along with me on the journey! Love Mandy x
