PATCHWORK YOUR GEMSTONE
A fully-guided tour with Elizabeth Chadwick as your tutor and Jacky Wyatt from Wacky Jacky’s Textiles as your host.
Elizabeth has been patchworking since the early 2000 and especially loves Batiks, bright colours and good contrast. She absolutely loves to piece, all sorts of piecing, paper piecing, foundation paper piecing, cutting fabric and piecing. She has been teaching patchwork piecing since about 2008.
In 2012, Judy Niemeyer came to Australia to teach her technique called Quiltworx and Elizabeth became one of the original Quiltworx Instructors here in Australia. She then kept on learning to polish her skills, and became one of only a couple of Gemstones Affiliated teachers in Australia, with her specialty in 3D effects.
“The Gemstone patterns particularly caught my eye and are not your regular paper piecing!” Elizabeth said.
Reusable iron on templates adhere to the front of the fabric and can be easily removed after piecing. Each block is 17 inches square finished size, so great to turn into a quilt, create table runners, placemats or cushion covers. Having made the first one you can re-use the templates and create the gemstone again in the same or a different colours.
This quilt is easily completed as a Quilt-as-you-go project. Each Gemstone pattern takes approx. 10-15 hours to make depending on the intricacy.

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 5 to 16 August 2024, which means 5 August is the day you fly in, and 16 August 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.
