June Nixey has been teaching quilting to the Shut in Stitchers of Arohata Women's Prison for 20 years. This week the stitching programme received a Highly Commended in the Big 'A' Prison Arts Community Awards. Read all the details using this link to the story on stuff.co.nz
June also blogs at Junez Scrapz and is on my blog list (right hand side of blog) so check out her blog and leave a comment congratulating her.
I was lucky enough to know June through my membership with Pinestream Quilters. She is a lovely warm lady, and very proud of her "girls" as she calls them.
