Does anybody know of any held within UK? As much as I would love to travel all over the wordl to attend them, work and family are a problem. :thumbup:

Sorry I dont know of any but I live close to you in Hartlepool

That is not too far away as I live In Newton Aycliffe, but work in Middlesborough.

I live fairly near to you both, Tadcaster between Leeds and York. There is a retreat in Cumbria, if you google Quiltworks there is more info. I should add that I've not been, any I've looked at seem to be very expensive. I often go on 1 day courses, google Silver Thimble to see details. In the meantime - happy sewing!! :-)

If you find any in Aug or Sept.could you please let me know.I'm coming over for a holiday.

Maggi Martin in Scarborough does weekend and the ocasional week retreats, great value for money. She not only teaches you, but does all the cooking as well. If you Google maggiemartinscraftworkshops, so get you to the website. Only takes max 6 at a time and alwasy good fun. Going next month on recommendation

anyone know of any near Hereford/Shropshire/Worcestershire apart from Westhope?
