Interested in a challenge?  Your entries will be exhibited at the National Symposium held in Taupo in July this year.  It's being run by Aotearoa Quilters, the National Association of New Zealand Quilters:

RED 12 by 12 Challenge

Now is the time to think RED as we prepare for the Taupo Symposium in July 2013. Aotearoa Quilters are holding a RED challenge at Symposium with the idea the quilts are affordable. Take a piece home by a favourite quilter. These are quick and easy to make so encourage everyone to enter!

Think about: fire engines, lust, hearts, red roses, red marks on your school work, Christmas. The ideas are endless.
