It was held at Wellington Girls' College and there were merchants, show and tell, jelly roll competition, speaker and three challenges.
My entries for the challenges:
 |
| Cat not included |
Bloke's block - circle of jandals
All the blocks will be joined into a quilt/s and donated to the Wellington City Mission.
Child's block - noughts and crosses on blackboard fabric
All these blocks will be put together as a quilt/s and donated to the Women's Refuge.
I won first prize and viewers choice for my flag. Hmm there were only three entries! My prize included a New Zealand flag and a voucher from Sawmillers Quiltery which I redeemed for some Aurifil thread.
The flag was created with freezer paper stencils and coloured with paintsticks, textile paint would have been easier and faster. To get the colour more intense required quite a few applications fortunately we had a few sunny days. I find the paintsticks a bit messy for using inside.

I like the idea of the blokes blocks and the kids blocks - great concept and then nice to join them all together in the end. It's a good idea for a challenge rather than a completed small quilt, because then what do you do with it?
