Threads of our Time – Christchurch Symposium 2026
Threads of our Time - Christchurch Symposium 2026 - has released the teaching schedule. I will be teaching four workshops:

⭐ Abstraction in Action (2 days): stretch your creative muscles! an introduction to abstraction in concept and practice;
⭐ Logs & Ladders: building with improvisation - convert your scraps into dynamic compositions;
⭐ Zig Zag Pizzazz: create energetic designs with flair and style with freeform piecing; and
⭐ The Art of Finishing: enhance the presentation of your quilts. A fresh look at edge treatments, labels, hanging sleeves and more.

Bookings open next week. I went to my very first symposium back in 2003 and was energised by the enthusiasm and stimulation. I hope you will join me in 2026!
