Home from AQC - Show specials...

What a week in Melbourne at the beautiful Royal Exhibition Building at the Australasian Quilt Convention.

This is my first time attending this event in this stunning building. The enthusiasm of all the delegates, the dedication of all the vendors and the number of people that came to say hello and try out the new, extremely accurate Platinum Stitch Regulator on the A1 Quilting machine were great.



At AQC I had Raylee Bielenberg of Sunflower Quilting in Canberra, join me for the first time as the A1 Dealer for NSW, ACT & Qld. She had a lot of fun playing with the new Platinum Stitch Regulator on the A1 machine. This is an extremely accurate, light & easy to use regulator that will blow your socks off! We have a show special that I am able to extend until midnight on Friday 18th April.

With a $3000- deposit you can secure the AQC Show special on your dream machine!

Congratulations to Michelle Hill for the Rajah Award, Faye Packam received the Lut-da Award and NSW’s Janet Treen won the Best of Australia with her magnificent quilt “Rings & Roses”

Prior to leaving for Melbourne I spent a huge amount of time preparing for the opening of registrations for AMQ Festival 2014. We have so many wonderful teachers & classes this year that we are sure you will find something to inspire and excite you. Please visit www.amqfestival.com.au to check them all out.
