Thank you so much, Creative Energy National Quilt Festival Committee
***
Every second year a festival is hosted by one of the larger regional guilds on behalf of the South African Quilters’ Guild and in July 2015 this took place on the subtropical east coast of South Africa, in the friendly province of KwaZulu-Natal at the premises of a prestigious boarding school on the outskirts of Durban. Our quilt festivals are organised by quilters and planned with quilters in mind. A committee of dedicated quilters worked hard to ensure that the Creative Energy 2015 Quilt Festival was a memorable one – with classes to inspire, a quilt exhibition to blow your mind, shopping opportunities to blow your budget, a venue to calm your soul and accommodation to rest your weary bones… what more could a quilter desire?
