Our theme for conference 2012 is:

“Pioneers of Stitch”

Exhibitions

The inspiration was taken from the many women who have pioneered in their field in New Zealand over the years, we follow in the footsteps of those pioneering women, and our Exhibition Themes reflect this.

Open “Creating Change” inspired by Kate Shepherd – Women’s Suffrage

Members “From the Decorative to the Abstract” inspired by Frances Hodgkins – Artist

Miniature “New Expression” – inspired by Katherine Mansfield – Writer

Young Persons “First Impressions” – inspired by Elsie Locke – Children’s Author
