Welcome to Threads of our Time—a celebration of quilting, creativity, and community, set in the heart of the Garden City, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Just like the threads that bind our quilts, this symposium weaves together people, stories, and artistry from across the country and beyond. Over several inspiring days, we invite you to immerse yourself in workshops with leading tutors, explore exhibitions that showcase the skill and imagination of quilters, and connect with a vibrant community who share your passion.

From bold contemporary designs to timeless traditions, every quilt tells a story of its time. Together, we will celebrate the heritage of quilting while exploring the fresh ideas, techniques, and innovations shaping its future.

Join us in Christchurch, where gardens, creativity, and friendship flourish—an unforgettable gathering stitched with inspiration, learning, and joy.
