Picture: REWORK Quilt Challenge

Thank you and congratulations on all who took part in our 2025 Quilt Challenge - REWORK!

We received 55 fabulous entries this year and what an amazing selection of stories and craftmanship in the creations. It made choosing a winner very challenging for our voters, but choose they did and the overall Viewer's Choice Winner is:

'Waves at the Beach'
by Christine Hart from Pukekohe


Christine had made this block for a Water Challenge at her local quilt club. It is made from two types of jeans to achieve the different froth effects. She has also used ric rac, lace, a doily, rope trim and cotton fabrics.

Christine has won a BERNINA 325 Sewing Machine valued at $1,999. Congratulations Christine, we hope to see more of your creations.

Every year our voters go into a lucky draw, this years winner is Kay Durrant from Tauranga. Kay is now the proud owner of a BERNINA 325 Sewing Machine.
