The Great Lake Centre is in the centre of Taupo, just a 10-15 minute walk from Taupo-nui-a-Tia College where the classes, etc. took place. There was also a shuttle for those in a hurry or less inclined to walk.
As well as the Symposium exhibition, there were the Tutors quilts and SAQA's Trunk Show C.
On the Sunday morning I did a white glove duty - always a great way to get a better look at the quilts.
Just a few quilts that I liked.

| Past Imperfect by Josie Willis |
One of my favourites by Josie WIllis. The quilt isn't wonky its just my photographing skills.
I spent quite awhile trying to work out how it was pieced.

Finally my quilts

| Out My Window II |
A larger version of my quilt that is in Beneath the Southern Sky Exhibition.

| Out West |
This quilt is loosely based on a bus blind and features the western suburbs of Wellington. Its a wholecloth that has been dyed, the letters were 'bleached' with Decolourant and trapuntoed.

The vertical line down the centre is just a shadow. This was my first effort using doilies after I started following Cindy Needham's blog and before she came to NZ earlier in the year.
