re-visit

The next New Zealand Quilt Symposium is in Auckland in 2019.

I have never attended an Auckland symposium as Auckland is 'just up the road' and the traffic is horrific. Usually, I use symposia as an excuse to visit other parts of the country.
But as I now have a daughter living in Auckland therefore free accommodation, I have enrolled for this one and am excited by the quilt exhibition categories.

I feel a quilt coming on. It's been an extremely long time since I even considered entering a quilt show! No pressure.

fabric.com

I'm not usually a promotor on retail outlets but am excited to discover fabric.com as it has this amazing design wall feature. If you sign up you get to keep your design wall. You can add fabrics to it and them move them around to see which goes with what. Extremely handy tool when shopping for fabric online and just a place to play with colour generally.
