The Great New Zealand Quilt Show is over for 2016 with over 1000 people visiting and viewing our exhibition. We have had a wonderful time, seen an amazing exhibition of New Zealand Quilters work, enjoyed the members breakfast & Award evening, spent money in the Merchants Mall, collected and quilted many quilts for Cosy Kiwi Kids. It was great to meet new people and to see old friends – all in all a great weekend.
We want to say a ‘HUGE’ Thank You to all those who have helped to make this show a great success – without you we could not have had such a wonderful show.
