Ritiro di quilting in Toscana: 7-day Quilting Retreat in Italy with Barbie Mitchell
Immerse yourself in a quilting retreat celebrating textiles, handwork, and the wonders of Italy. Spend 6 nights nestled in picturesque Chianti where you’ll learn the art of quilt making from Barbie. She’ll teach needle turn appliqué, patchwork, and hand piecing while everyone makes their quilt top under her guidance and expertise. Each day, you’ll partake in a morning class, then enjoy a mix of guided explorations and free time to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the area.
Day trips to Florence, Siena, Prato, Luca & Pisa.
This is a small group of 10 people so it will be a lovely intimate group.
