Travel across Italy’s most beautiful regions and create a pictorial landscape quilt inspired by Italian artistry and architecture.
Embark on a grand textile tour through Italy as Jenni Smith and Kay Walsh introduce you to the country’s artistic traditions, breathtaking scenery, and vibrant quilting community. Inspired by the work of pictorial quilter Annamaria Brenti, you’ll learn techniques for creating an expressive landscape quilt while exploring the beauty of cities incuding Pisa, Florence, Venice, and Verona. This workshop combines travel, storytelling, and quiltmaking into a creative celebration of Italian culture.

The number of biscuits you need is really determined by the size of your dish.
Use medium eggs for this recipe. If you only have large eggs available use five (or even four if you prefer a firmer texture).
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. Mix the mascarpone into the egg mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. With a metal spoon, fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone, egg and sugar mixture.
In another very clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Fold lightly into the mascarpone, cream and egg mixture.
Spoon a third of the mascarpone, egg and cream mixture into a large dish of about 23x33cm/9x13in.
Mix the espresso and Marsala together in a shallow bowl. Briefly dip each biscuit into the espresso and Marsala mixture, then immediately lay on top of the mascarpone and cream mixture in the dish (don’t leave the biscuits in the liquid as they will become too soggy). Continue to dunk them individually until you have a layer of biscuits on top of the cream mixture (you should use about half the biscuits).
Spoon over the next third of the mascarpone and cream mixture, followed by another layer of biscuits. Spoon over the final layer of mascarpone and cream. Cover and chill in the fridge for 24 hours.
Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
