Over the weekend at The Australian Quilt Market, Helen Stubbings and I had the pleasure of finalising details for a wonderful, not to be missed event in Tasmania next year..
We have pleasure in announcing
A Stitching Affair - a totally indulgent stitching retreat and Tassie experience in the Highlands of Tasmania.
We will spoil you from the minute we meet until the hour we tearfully
wave you goodbye. 4-5 star accommodation options – Tantalising
Tasmanian fare, the wilds of the highlands – mists, wildlife and forests
– in the comfort of wood fires, central heating, warm friends and warm
thoughts.
You will have access to Helen and I for three days, we will stitch and
make at least six new projects – with all requirements supplied, learn
new techniques, share inspiration and totally spoil yourself.
You can even add a spa treatment or cocktail to the menu..
All details and registration can be found on our blog at A Stitching Affair
Numbers are strictly limited so don’t think about it for too long.
This will be an intimate retreat – you will get lots of personal
attention and help with your stitching.
If you have a group of friends, all come and we can organise you to
stay together. If you’d like to come for an extended holiday we will be
adding Quilt shop tour information and other great Tassie tourism
options to the site soon. There are so many great things for the family
to do whilst you treat yourself to a couple of days of ‘me time’.
Note: this is a long weekend in Tasmania and many other states. We
have left the Monday free for you to travel home to begin work Tuesday.
The Retreat cost includes:
Coach transfer from Hobart to Tarraleah return.
All meals inc: Breakfast, Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper
Six fully kitted projects
4 or 5 star accommodation
Other goodies and surprises – you won’t be disappointed
——————————————————————————————
Now I can hear you all saying – it will be too cold in June in
Tassie! take it from me, this is the best time of year in Tassie –
experience our beautiful winter in the warmth of stunning accommodation,
all heated with wood fires and electric or gas heating, perfect
stitching weather, warming food and warm friendships.
Hope you can come!!
