Quilt Symposium Manawatu 2015Have you ever wondered why there is such a rush to register your interest in attending a Quilt Symposium?
To make things as fair as possible the Committee will date stamp your registration as it is received. A sequential number will then be allocated to each person in that order. Later, when it comes to allocating classes, the class bookings will be dealt with in numerical order. The lower your number the better your chance of getting into the class you want. So don’t delay filling out the forms and sending them in.
Entry : $5 per person
My mother in law visited from the UK 3 years ago and was here for the EPQ quilt show and attended a few meetings on Wednesdays with me. The girls from Wednesday were lovely enough to give Barbara some blocks as a present for her help at the show and as a farewell gift. She has now created two quilts from these blocks and sent me some photos. I thought everyone might enjoy seeing them. Chris C. 
The Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair is on this year July 9-13 at a new venue, Sydney Exhibition Centre at Glebe Island.
Some quilters have been asking about the new venue and how it will work. Here’s the latest from Expertise Events:

The Creative Textile Show in Canberra on May2-4 is a new one this year and is a welcome replacement for the textile art show that was previously in Brisbane. An easy drive to Canberra from Sydney!
Keep your eyes open and you will see patchwork everywhere. On a recent visit to the QVB, this gorgeous floral display was viewed near the Queen Victoria statue.
Its part of the Sydney Living Colour installation of street art and can still (as of last week) be seen.
