As I shared on Wednesday, Lizzy House is bringing
her Meadow Quilt to Australia and New Zealand later this year. Lizzy has never released
a pattern for the Meadow quilt preferring to personally teach the process. This
is the first and likely last time that Lizzy will be teaching the Meadow in
Australia so it’s a rare chance to learn to make one for yourself. The Aussie classes
will be six hour workshops, including a lunch break, in which you will choose
fabrics, learn the process of making the Meadow block and finish 2-3 blocks.
Lizzy will be teaching in four major Australian cities – Sydney,
Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth – and in Wellington, New Zealand throughout late September and early October.
The classes and their locations are listed below:

Registration for the Melbourne and Sydney classes is now also open! The total cost for the class is $200 and
is payable as a $45 deposit at the time of registration and $155 final payment one month before your class. To register for either the Sydney or Melbourne class
please fill out this Google form (link provided below).
LINK TO REGISTRATION FORM FOR SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE:
Upon filling out the form you will receive an email
confirming your place in the class (or on the waiting list if the class is
booked out). Registrations will be processed in the order they are received.
To confirm your booking you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $45 within 7
days of registering for the class. You may choose to pay this via bank deposit
(preferred) or via PayPal and bank details or a PayPal invoice will be emailed to
you. If you do not pay your deposit within 7 days your place in the class will not be held for you. It will be offered
to someone else.
The remainder of your booking fee will be due one month
before your class and you will be sent an email reminder including bank details
or a PayPal invoice as preferenced by you.
In the event that a class becomes booked out, a waiting list
will be created. If anyone drops out, those on the waiting list will be offered
the vacated space in the order in which they joined the waiting list. If the
waiting list for a particular class becomes large enough a second class in that
city may be organised. This will be at
the organiser’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
If you drop out from the class your $45 deposit will not be refunded.
Questions you may
have:
Why do I need to pay a deposit?
There are two reasons for the deposit. The first is so that only people who are really committed to coming to the class sign up. The second is that to book venues for the classes and to fund Lizzy’s flights we will need money! The deposits we collect from attendees will allow us to do these things.
What happens if I have paid a deposit and I can no longer
attend the class, or the class is cancelled?
If you cannot attend the class, or the class is cancelled, you will not get your deposit back.
Is this class guaranteed to go ahead?
No. These classes could be cancelled for a variety of reasons including lack of interest. However at this stage we have no reason to suspect that any of the classes will be cancelled.
Who should come to this class?
The Meadow quilt involves reasonably complex curved piecing. Participants will have experience piecing quilts, and may have worked with curved piecing before. You must have an open mind and be excited to learn something new!
You will need to bring your own sewing machine and other quilting
equipment (cutting mat, rulers, rotary cutter, etc).
What does the class involve?
This class is a six hour workshop (with a lunch break). In
this class you will choose your fabrics, learn about the Meadow and make 2-3
blocks
What about accommodation?
The cost of the class does not include any accommodation. If you are travelling to attend the class you will need to arrange your own accommodation at your own expense.
Can I leave a comment on this post to reserve a spot in the
class?
No! Please fill in the Google form by following the link

Hopefully I have answered most of your questions. If you do have
