Auckland quilt symposium 2019

The symposium starts this week, with the quilt exhibition open tomorrow and classes starting on Wednesday.

I have been busy getting organized for the class I am teaching on Sunday, and looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones.

I am teaching applique, the sample quilt being Sharon's surprise from my new book Autumn Bouquet.
