Hi Bev
I am from the UK originally although I have lived in Kenya for many years.You may be unfortunate because you live in a small village but there are thousands of quilters in the UK, hundreds of quilting shops and many teachers - we have them visiting us regularly in Kenya to give lessons. There are also some good British magazines Popular Patchwork,British Patchwork and Quilting and Fabrications which will give you lots of contacts.
