Adventure Workshops
The Adventure Workshop Series
Virtually travel to three global destinations each year and learn local quilting traditions from the experts. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, you’ll be inspired and empowered to make quilts that reflect your personal style, while also incorporating the traditions of the places we travel. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your skills and make memories (and quilts) that last a lifetime!
Our summer adventure celebrates the quintessential charm of the English countryside and is the first online workshop to study the textiles associated with Beatrix Potter—ever!
