Classes

Done! I have now all my classes at Bernina Tauranga on my site. It was a hard work, but now I am happy and can start to make new quilts.

Next Saturday we - Bernina Tauranga and Me - show you all the quilts you can do in the classes. Come and celebrate this from 10am till 1pm at BerninaTauranga!

Webseite - Website

Habe heute meine Webseite auf Vordermann gebracht. Eine Riesenarbeit alle Bilder von meinen Quilts hochzuladen, einzusortieren und zu beschriften.


Today I worked on my website. A lot of work to upload all the pfotos of my quilts, to sort them at the right places and to label them.

New Quilt - Neuer Quilt

For the classes, starting in May, I am preparing new quilts. We'll have a "Patchwork Basics" Class every month. The theme of the first month is "Squares". So I started to make a new quilt.

I looked for all my traditional fabrics, cut stripes and started to sew.

The finished quilt will measure 160 cm x 160 cm. The first half quilt is sewn.

Für meine Kurse in Tauranga, die im Mai starten, brauche ich einige neue Quilts. Wir haben jeden Monat eine "Patchwork Basic" Klasse. Das Thema des ersten Monats wird "Quadrate" lauten.

Somit habe ich meine ganzen traditionellen Stoffe durchsucht, Streifen geschnitten und angefangen zu nähen. Der fertige Quilt wird in etwa 160cm x 160cm gross sein.

Bernina Tauranga

In the location of Bernina Tauranga I found a place to hold my classes 2013 in Tauranga. The shop has a large room for classes and offers the possibility to use their sewing machines. So you have not to bring your own machine to the classes. You can , if you wish to work with your own machine!

The address is:

528 Cameron Road (by 11th Avenue)

The price for a 1 day class is NZ $ 110 for a full day class ( 9.30am till 12.00am and 1.00pm till 4.00pm). The classes on Monday, Thursday and Friday are full day classes.

The price for a half day class is NZ $ 60 . (9.30am till 12.30am) The class on Saturday is a half day class.

I am ready to start!

At the end of a year I try to find time to sit down and think, what I wish to change during the next year. It is not so that I haven't changed a lot in the last years. I gave away my job and retired early, I moved from Switzerland to New Zealand and I started a life onboard of a yacht in the South Pacific.

But the whole time was something else in my mind: I wish to start a business! That meant for me: I wish to start to teach more. More about Patchwork, Quilting, Embroidery, Surface Design - in other words: My profession as a Textile Artist shall be more important.

So I searched and found a solution. Beginning next year I'll teach at Bernina Tauranga, New Zealand. I start with classes one week per month. Every second week of a month I'll be in Bernina Tauranga and teach my own program. And I hope
You will enjoy the possibilty to learn different things I can show you.
