Taupo Symposium

Four of us went to Rotorua for the weekend and went across to

Taupo on Saturday to check out the quilts.  I was impressed

at the variety of quilts on display.

Here some that took my eye.

This one by Anna Williams.  The quilting was beautiful.

I had a really great weekend away with my 3 quilting friends and 

we are already planning for the next Symposium.

Alice in Wonderland Challenge

At the WQC show in March a group called "The Mad 4"

was created.  This comprises of me and three quilting buddies.

It started off as a challenge where we would each provide a fat quarter of fabric

but grew into having a theme as well.

The theme is from "Alice in Wonderland"

Wendy supplied the first fat quarter which was actually 2 fat eights

and she also supplied the kiwiana fabric and specified that each of the 

four challenges must contain a noticeable piece of it.

I chose the Cheshire cat from the cartoon "Alice in Wonderland"

to make this.
