Formerly Calico Christmas, the Auckland Patchwork & Quilters Guild’s Festival of Quilts is now into it's second year with it's new name, to better describe exactly what was on display at the show - a festival of quilts of all shapes, sizes, colour and styles to impress and inspire quilters of every age and ability. The standard of quilts on display was breathtaking and incredibly exciting to see entries from quilters who are still at primary school!
