Formed in 1994 as the National Association of New Zealand Quilters (NANZQ), we support quilters and textile artists by offering classes, exhibitions and professional development opportunities. Membership is open to anyone interested in the NZ quilting and textile scene.
Aotearoa Quilters have just announced our first web challenge called “On the Line”.
There are only a few days left before entries close on March 5 2012, members put your thinking caps on for this great challenge.
You submit photos of your finished quilt via the website and entry is free! Photos will be judged and prizes awarded.
Think about things like poetry lines, clothes line, horizon line and many more.
Open to members only and due by March 5th 2012
