Dear Quilters
When you come to AQC this year, you’ll find the
usual top notch quilt show with a collection of
quilts that you will only be able to see at this
event. You’ll also notice there are a couple of
recurring themes.
First there’s the concept of tradition. There’ll
be some wonderful traditional quilts on
show. Di Ford-Hall won our Rajah Award for
2015 and her amazing works exemplify the
beauty of classic quilts.
Lessa Siegele has recreated the Rajah quilt and will be teaching
her Rajah Revisited class so quilters can make their own version
of Australia’s most treasured historic textile.
Our AQC Challenge this year explores the theme of Tradition
with a Twist and quilters have applied some creative left field
thinking with splendid results.
Then there’s our guest tutor and lecturer Victoria Findlay
Wolfe whose amazing interpretations of the traditional Double
Wedding Ring quilt design bring this much loved design into the
modern era in a most delightful way.
The other thing that has crept in this year is creatures in quilts.
Stevie, a life-size saltwater crocodile quilt (named in tribute
to the late Steve Irwin) is on its way from the USA with Susan
Carlson, and in our mini-challenge quilters have had the chance
to celebrate the love of their four-legged family members. You’re
going to love this display – Paws & Whiskers – don’t miss it.
See you there,
