It’s taken us longer than anticipated to get things finalised from AMQF and no doubt to get everything in order will take a few months more. We’d like to thank everyone involved in AMQF 2012 whether you were a sponsor, vendor, presenter, teacher, student, volunteer, visitor or a member of the public. This couldn’t have happened without you all and we thank you sincerely for all your efforts and involvement and hope you come back to us in 2014; the dates for AMQF 2014 are 2nd – 6th October.
Special thanks must go to our major sponsor, Handi Quilter, and their fantastic staff who have been an absolute dream to deal with since the outset. Please know that your support and easy going attitude has made our jobs so much easier and we simply can’t thank you enough!
Bernina Australia were behind us all the way with co-hosting Ricky Tims and coming to the party when we really needed help, thank you so much!
We are currently doing all the administration work finalising all the details and getting letters of thanks out to everyone but we wanted to touch base and just give a brief update. AMQF 2012 grew so much from our first festival held at Endeavour College in 2010 and we are optimistic that it will continue. The interest in 2014 already has really surprised us and we feel very honoured to have this support shown to us. Our blogs now will be much less frequent and if you know of anyone that is interested in AMQF 2014 the best way to stay in touch is to register online for the Newsletter.
Alzheimer’s Benefit Quilt Challenge

We are still organising invoices/payments, wrapping and posting quilts and this will all be finalised this week. If you’d like to see the list of winning bids please click here.
