Dear Quilters,
One of our aims when presenting AQC to you each year is to
bring the world of quilting to your door, and we are pleased
to announce that in 2013 we have more quilts from more
countries around the world than ever. We hope you will join us
as this unique collection of quilts will only be shown at AQC.
To get the full AQC experience, consider enrolling in the
convention classes. These run upstairs and include catered lunches and social events,
with an outstanding tutor lineup from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA.
New this year, are the two-day beginner classes so if you know someone who wants to
get into quilting, this is a great place to start.
Check out which classes are still available on www.aqc.com.au and contact us if you
have any questions.
As well as the outstanding Quilt Show and classes, you can buy the latest supplies,
machines, fabrics, tools, books and patterns. If your time is limited, there are plenty of
short workshops on offer too which can be booked on the day.

minute. Choose your three favourite top speed settings, on the

them.
