We are working towards releasing the date that Class Registrations will open and would like to give you an update on the booking process. We have installed a new registration system that will make the process a whole lot easier for us and Tracey has been putting in some extraordinarily long hours at the computer to make this happen. Once it is at a stage that will make sense to everyone it will be released so that you can become familiar with it prior to registrations opening.
There is a Class Registration Fee which will be payable by all students nominating for classes and the cost is $60.00 (inc GST). This fee not only helps towards teachers fees and expenses, staff time, supplies and equipment but also offers benefits to students. These benefits include 4 days admission into the show and vendor mall, and also a gorgeous cooler bag complete with goodies including a neck wallet, pen, pad and a copy of Quilter's Companion; Homespun from Universal Magazines and more. This is a value in excess of $100.00.
Instead of paying the Registration Fee you may choose the option of purchasing a Festival Package for $110.00 (inc GST). In addition to the Registration Fee, which is included, you will also receive the added benefits of a Commemorative AMQF gift, 2 full patterns, 2.5m of quality wide backing fabric from Lloyd Curzon, thread, Quilt Tote, Business card folder, discount vouchers, samples, a listing in the show program, magazine from Meander Publishing, gift from Hetties Patch, and a few more surprises. The value of the Festival Package is over $280.00.
All shops and businesses are invited to offer discount vouchers/coupons/samples to be included in these packages to further enhance our students shopping experience and to promote your products. Please contact Sharon to arrange this.

Cathy Wiggins was born and raised in eastern North Carolina were she received degrees in mathematics and software engineering. Even though her education is in technology, her love has always been art and any form of creativity. During her years in telecommunications she continued to foster her love of art through taking numerous workshops on subjects such as sculpting, pottery, and all forms of painting. She eventually settled on using acrylic paints on paper as her medium of choice. Through experimenting and practice, Cathy developed her own style of painting where she would, through the use of value and layers of paint, interpret photographs on paper. She won numerous awards locally and nationally for her work and began teaching her technique to others.
