I've shown Michele Hill's lovely quilt last because she was our very entertaining speaker to finish the first day. If you like William Morris quilts, you will know her name.
Wonder what we'll get to see at the next Symposium which is to be held here in Palmerston North 16-21 January 2015 (click on the poster below to enlarge)
I still have more to share about my Taupo symposium experience so see you again soon.
HI Lynette, Great to meet you via blogger and thanks so much for coming to my lecture!! Thanks also for dropping by my blog and for your great photos and round up of the Symposium. I LOVE New Zealand and hope to come back again one day. Hugs from South Australia xx
ReplyDeleteHi Lynette, I had 45 mins to look at the exhibition which was hugely disappointing but I just didn't have time, so thanks for adding the pics. And for the lovely comments re my quilt :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lynette.....great to see photos of those beautiful quilts.....I loves the Gerbra and the ones made by Francien Bot ans LeeAnn Newston......
ReplyDeleteIs this what OMG was invented for?
ReplyDeleteWow, some really mind blowing quilts. I'm going to the Festival of Quilts (UK) this year, I'm hoping that there will be some equally amazing quilts on show.
