Taupo Quiltmakers' Exhibition from Wendy's Quilts and More

I'm just back from a wonderful long weekend in Taupo. The Taupo Quiltmakers Guild invited me to be the guest exhibitor at their "Quilting with the Stars" exhibition over Matariki weekend.

I drove to Taupo on Thursday with my husband, and 10 large quilts on the back seats of my car. It's winter here in the Southern Hemisphere, so there was plenty of snow on Mt Ruapehu in the middle of the North Island.

(Mt Ruapehu is an active volcano, but it's fairly stable and the last eruption was 15 years ago. The North Island's main ...

Turkish Coffee quilt from Wendy's Quilts and More

This week I've been working on my Turkish Coffee quilt from Quilts in Burano by Kaffe Fassett. And watching the US Open of course. It's really weird with no spectators, but I'm getting used to it, and at least it's keeping everyone involved free from COVID. The French Open (rescheduled to start on 21 September) is going to allow some spectators so that will be interesting.

There are so many lovely quilts in Quilts in Burano. Free Spirit Fabrics are running a competition called "Say Yes to Kaffe Collective" and encouraging people to make quilts from ...
