Tours

Due to the ongoing covid-19 Pandemic there won't be a tour in 2021. Stay tuned for updates on a new and memorable tour in 2022.

Our Fiber & Food Lover’s Tour in 2019 started in Birmingham, England at the Festival of Quilts. We spent 2 exciting days there enjoying the galleries of exceptional work from quilters from around the world.

Then we were off to meet wonderful artists at their studios, had hands-on fun at a workshop or 2, visited galleries and artist co-ops, and explored the beauty of the countryside, and enjoying the delicious foods of the region.
