Quilt & Textile Tours
I have hosted many specialized tours through international destinations over the years, and I look forward to sharing memorable experiences in countries far and wide with you. In addition to visits of textile interest, we visit historical sites, ancient ruins, modern marvels, and experience the best of what each country has to offer. Something for everyone! Quilters, stitchers, family, and friends. Each itinerary is carefully planned with unique and exclusive textile visits and activities, as well as all the must-see places.
Our tours sell out very quickly - so don’t delay!

"I want to thank you for the beautiful experience and memories.
The trip (to France) was more than I’d expected even though my bar was set high.
I really can’t pick the highlight of the tour because I enjoyed each and every day.
The accommodation, food, workshops, and the caring personalities of everyone involved
made it so memorable that I still get goosebumps!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
- Ronnie Pellizzon, Tour Traveller
