Join us for a four-night retreat run by the wonderful Cowslip Workshops. During your stay you’ll lose yourself in the beautiful task of creating a quilt under the watchful eye of Jo Colwill.
Suitable for people with all levels of experience, the retreat will see guests using machine piercing with hand applique and covering various techniques that will make each quilt individual.
Guests can use existing designs, keeping to the basic strip type of quilt or choose something more complex … or go freestyle and adapt designs as they choose.
Arrive Sunday 20th October and depart Thursday 24th October 2024. Prices include dinner, bed and breakfast, scheduled coffee and tea breaks plus sessions with Jo.
Standard Room
£656.00 per person
Signature Room
£896.00 per person
The week will start with a discussion about construction techniques, including rotary cutting and machine piecing. There will be sessions looking at the use of colour, how to choose your fabrics to create interest and texture, piecing and applique techniques and how to make perfect circles, stems and flowers.
Depending on the size of quilt guests decide to make it is not always possible to get into the final stages of quilting, but the week will include a demonstration of quilting by machine and hand. Students will need a sewing machine.
