Exciting News–AMQF 2014

The wheels have been in motion for some time planning AMQF 2014 and it is now that those wheels are beginning to turn a little quicker as our plans come to fruition.  The time has come that we can now share a little of what we’ve been working on over the past 12 months and we will have regular updates to keep you informed.  We have a fabulous line up of teachers from Australia and America with some exciting classes on offer and details of these classes will be available once contracts are issued – stay tuned!
We are very pleased and excited to announce that world renowned quilter and artist Pam Holland will be featured at AMQF 2014 with a Special Exhibition of her stunning quilts.

Pam’s early career was that of a photographer, and fashion designer and this experience is evident in her quilting which she has been involved with for over 20 years.  Pam travels 10 months of the year to far flung places all over the world teaching, judging and lecturing about the art of quilting.  Her experiences in teaching and travel have been the inspiration for most of her quilts and has given her the reputation of shaping something new from the already established.  Pam draws, films and writes constantly during her travels and this forms the basic plans that she uses to create quilts when she’s at home in the studio.  She has won numerous International awards, has written several books with more to come in the near future.  Pam lives in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia with her husband, Keith, and is mother to 13 children who all live close by with their families.   Below are a few photos of Pam’s exquisite work and she is looking forward to sharing her incredible talent and techniques with a 3 day Masterclass to be held during Festival; details will be released at a later date.
