Theme Reveal: Carousel of Quilts

The 2024 Waikato Quilt Symposium is a multi-cultural, multi-coloured quilt fest with a carnival twist. Held at Cambridge High School from Wednesday 2nd to Sunday 6th October, this jam-packed event is one you don’t want to miss! We are delighted to be partnering with BERNINA who will facilitate an international tutor and supply machines for use in workshops.

Counting down

We are really looking forward to hosting you in our beautiful Waikato rural setting of Cambridge where we will offer you a carousel of learning, creativity, inspiration and connection.
