I downed tools and flew to Australia to spend a week with my sister, her husband and the new addition. It's such a special time with a newborn, but hard work! I felt really lucky that I could help out a bit (and cuddle the baby, of course!)
This episode of The NZ Quilt Show podcast continues the National Quilt Symposium round up and includes interviews with Rachel Maw from Annie's Country Quilt Store, a lovely little quilt store in Ashburton, NZ;
Kathleen Burford from the Migrant Women's Quilt Project;
and Bobby Duncan of Fabric by Three, a family owned fabric dyeing company. That's Bobbi on the left, her husband John in the centre and John's sister, Liz on the right.
A note about the Migrant Women's Quilt Group - Kathleen and her group of volunteers teach migrant women, whether they be refugees or recent immigrants, to make quilts. This group fosters friendships, makes connections, helps with learning English, all while teaching sewing skills. They use donations to help keep the group going. If you have GOOD quality fabric, sewing threads, notions etc to donate, you can contact Kathleen via email seniorburfords at gmail dot com
