My name is Charlotte, sometimes known as Ms Lottie, occasionally as The Slightly Mad Quilt Lady. This is my blog, where you'll find me writing a lot about my quilting and textile arts and a little about my family's life in a small seaside town in New Zealand. Haere mai!

Happy Dance!

I got notice today that both my quilts that I submitted for the Taupo Symposium exhibition have been  accepted!  Woot, woot!


It was my goal to have at least one quilt accepted at one of the major exhibitions in New Zealand this year - and now both have been so I'm over the moon!


To see the whole quilts you'll need to visit the exhibition.  It's the Horn Cabinet Quilt Exhibition Taupo 2013 at the Taupo Symposium 2013 Fabric Art Festival held 18th to 23rd July at the Great Lake Centre, Tongariro Street, Taupo.

I'll be lurking in the background like a proud Mama.....

    Congratulations to you! Quite an achievement and the 'peeks' of the quilts show they are gorgeous.

    Your quilts are stunning,It is a bit far to fly half way around the world. Perhaps you will share after the show.

    I'm so happy for you (although no dancing, that requires serious quantities of alcohol!) - having seen the quilts in person, I'm not surprised that they were chosen, they are both amazing. Can't wait to see them hanging at the exhibition.
