THE EXCITEMENT starts long before the first day of the trip. Our pre-tour morning teas are synonymous with good times, plenty of laughter and getting to know the wonderful ladies we’ll soon be travelling with. We love making sure everyone is fully prepared, feeling excited and ready to head off on tour with us.

How lucky we are to have the most wonderful travel companions on each and every trip we do.

CONGRATULATIONS ALI • We are so proud to celebrate one of our wonderful Launchpad Tours travellers, Ali, on the success of her second exhibition, Uncommon Threads!

Last Monday, a group of Ali's loyal admirers and friends from our Launchpad travel family gathered for a delightful morning tea at Amante & Co Café in South Fremantle to revel at her beautiful collection and share in this special milestone.

Ali's creativity, passion and dedication shine through every piece, and it's been such a joy to see her artistic journey flourish. We are thrilled to watch her talent continue to grow and are honoured to have such an inspiring member in our travel community.

Congratulations, Ali, on another fantastic exhibition, we can't wait to see where your creative journey takes you next!

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN QUILTING

What a privilege it was for Launchpad Tours to attend the QuiltWest 2026 Opening Ceremony and Awards Presentation at the Robinson Pavilion, Claremont Showgrounds, during Craft Alive on Thursday, 30 July.

As a proud sponsor, we were honoured to present the award for Best Hand Quilting and absolutely delighted to meet the deserving winner, Kerry Moore, and gift her with her Launchpad Tours prize.

Kerry's stunning quilt, ‘Waves’, is a breathtaking testament to patience, precision and extraordinary talent. Inspired by the colours and movement of the ocean, every stitch reflects the care and artistry that make quilting such a remarkable craft. It was a joy to see her exceptional work recognised.

Congratulations, Kerry, on this well-deserved achievement, and congratulations to all of the talented exhibitors whose creativity and dedication made QuiltWest 2026 such an inspiring event.

Congratulations to Marina Forgiarini on receiving the prestigious Best in Show award at QuiltWest 2026 for Wildflower Wreath.This breathtaking quilt is a masterclass in appliqué and embroidery, combining exquisite craftsmanship with a vibrant celebration of Western Australia's native flora. Every detail reflects remarkable artistry, patience, and technical excellence, making it a thoroughly deserving recipient of the exhibition's highest honour. It is a piece that inspires both admiration and appreciation from quilters and art lovers alike.

Thank you to the West Australian Quilters Association for inviting us to be part of this wonderful celebration of craftsmanship. We are proud to support the talented quilting community and look forward to many more creative journeys together.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM WANAKA

One of the true highlights of our Southern Discovery Tour of New Zealand was spending a wonderful Friendship Day with the incredible Aspiring Quilters in Wanaka.

We were deeply touched to receive this beautiful thank you message following our visit, but the thanks truly go both ways.

To everyone at Aspiring Quilters, thank you for your warm welcome, friendship, generosity, and hospitality. Your kindness made our group feel right at home, and the connections, laughter, creativity, and shared passion for quilting created memories that will stay with us for years to come. Our travellers thoroughly enjoyed meeting your members, sharing stories, admiring inspiring work, and experiencing the wonderful sense of community that makes your guild so special.

We’re delighted to share a selection of photographs from this memorable day and celebrate the friendships that quilting helps create across borders.

Thank you again, Aspiring Quilters, for making our visit to Wanaka such a special part of our New Zealand adventure. We hope our paths cross again soon! ❤️🇳🇿

There’s nothing more meaningful to us than hearing how a journey has touched someone’s heart.

Our recent New Zealand tour was filled with breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable moments, and beautiful connections, but it’s messages like this from our clients that truly cements why we do what we do.

To be trusted with someone’s memories, milestones, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences is something we never take for granted. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your adventure and for sharing your kind words with us.

New Zealand gave us the scenery, but our incredible ladies made the experience unforgettable.
