Pat McCoy's Winning Hunter's Star.

Last October quiltnorfolk celebrated....

       in many ways. 

It was our 10th Gathering, We have hosted six October Getaways, and four April/May Retreats.

The tutors, students, and the many organizers made sure that it was an event to remember.
 

Our quilts and wall hangings on stamps!

To start the month Norfolk Island held it's annual A&H Show. Usually the Best Exhibit is won by an item of woodwork, Norfolk Island produce etc. But this year it was a stunning quilt made  by Pat McCoy that was awarded the Top Prize. Well done, Pat. Quilting is getting the recognition that it deserves. 

Another bonus was the timely issue of a set of stamps from the Philatelic Bureau. The five different stamps issued all featured quilts and wall hangings made on Norfolk Island.                                                                                                                                                                                                          

    And if a week of fantastic quilting lessons wasn't enough we were invited to visit Government House to have drinks and nibbles with the Administrator, Gary Hardgraves. 

 Raewyn should have held the dainty purse/bag that she taught to her students in the next two days.
