Helen Pedersen was the brave lady who put her hand up to organise the tutors for Quilt Symposium Manawatu 2015. I wanted to chat with her about how you go about finding, contracting and organising about 40 national and international tutors for five days of classes. Helen was generous with her time and knowledge and I think you'll find it interesting to listen to how it all worked.

Helen can be found at http://
honeybunchquilting.blogspot.co.nz, although she hasn't been very active on her blog lately, and I think I have a fairly good idea of why! But it's still worth having a look, Helen has some nice quilts on display, including a couple of prize winners.
My audio player is orange today in recognition that orange was the theme colour of the Manawatu Quilt Symposium. See Helen's vest? Every committee member wore a variation of an orange vest so they were visible and recognisable - and they certainly were!
I'm a little late in commenting, but I really enjoyed this interview. Who knew that arranging tutors was such a lot of work - but Helen seems to be the type of person who just takes it all in stride.
