LEARN NEW AND EXCITING SKILLS, AS YOU EXPLORE AND ENJOY THE TROPICS
FOUR SPOTS LEFT. BOOK NOW BEFORE IT’S GONE!
A fully-guided tour with Kim Oleson from Quiltaholics Anonymous as your tutor and Jacky Wyatt from Wacky Jacky’s Textiles as your host.
Kim, a fiber artist, longarmer and award winning quilter, has been quilting for over 25 years and has taught sewing, quilting and fiber arts for over 15 years. In 2023, her quilt was shown in the Houston’s International Quilt Show because of its intricacy and beauty!
You will spend 5 days with Kim in relaxing thread-play, learning the beautiful art of traditional Hawaiian quilting, an easy batik reverse appliqué/batik raw edge technique and Boro-inspired embellishments.
In the traditional Hawaiian style, you will make a mug rug using Jacky’s beautiful batiks. You will have a choice of a tote bag or a crossbody bag for the reverse appliqué project, using a batik that you will design and print yourself at a batik factory. You will design your own piece at an indigo batik factory and embellish it with Boro-inspired techniques. You have the option of making a cushion cover (pillow cover), a table runner or a sewing tools case.

Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, this retreat starts on 24 June to 5 July 2024, which means 24 June 2024 is the day you fly in, and 5 July 2024 is the day you fly out.
Please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
If your flight is out of these times, an AUD$45 (per car) transfer fee is applicable.
If you wish to fly in earlier we will pick you up from the airport on your arrival and bring you to the hotel in Candidasa (and book extra nights for you – at your cost). This service is an additional AUD$45 per car. We can also pick you up on the first day from a hotel that you have booked yourself (within Kuta, Legian, or Sanur within the above times) – as we will be on the way to the airport, and can stop in and pick you up.
Once you know your flight times, let me know and we can work from there.
