The Course: "Jelly Rolls"
O.K so how many Jelly Rolls (these are rolls of 2.5" wide strips of fabric rolled together) have you bought and don't have a clue what to do with them? There are lots of books on the market to give you inspiration (see Amazon), so why not come and make a quick quilt. I have loads of patterns and ideas too. This course is suitable for beginners and experienced stitchers alike.

The Course: "UFO'S"
How many unfinished quilts do you have in your cupboard? How many kits in your cupboard waiting to be started? Is your excuse lack of time? Then this is the course for you. A whole week uninterrupted to just quilt – sounds bliss doesn't it. You will receive individual tuition on your particular project and kick start your quilt no matter what the mental block is. Add the camaraderie of soulmates, plus the inspiration of seeing other peoples work, excellent food, sun, great location. The result - Heaven!

The Course: "Appliqué Medallion Quilt"
This is a brand new design for this course. The main focus will be a 24 inch square basket of flowers design worked in hand appliqué the Krys Evans method. Krys has devised a brilliant method of producing accurate appliqué with the minimum of fuss which bypasses endless marking up of the design. A few simple tips will enable you to produce a successful piece. In addition, your instructions will include blocks to complete the quilt to a double bed size.

The Tutor: Krys Evans
Krys needs very little introduction to many of you. After 12 years Krys has recently sold her successful Patchwork and Quilting business in London, and plans to spend more time teaching. She has many years experience teaching textiles and has often been described as an "enthusiastic and inspirational teacher".
