But Coast to Coast must go on and so right there and then I was able to secure Leimomi as our replacement speaker, as well as some of the models.
We didn't have time to confirm the exact topic, but there will be full reproduction costumes modelled, there may be some on the Japonisme movement, in keeping with our theme:

And due to the shortness of the notice, there may be some cross over with her other events, "From the Streets of Pompeii to the Salons of Paris", and "Capturing the Mode."

It's not quite about quilting, admittedly, but Leimomi has delighted audiences at quilting guilds with her talks on historical textiles all around the lower North Island. A part time lecturer in the history of textiles at Massey University in Wellington, she is also a popular speaker, designer of costumes and wedding dresses, and an all round lovely, warm, engaging person!
