Enjoy sightseeing and huge skies in England’s most easterly reaches, and quilt with Karin Hellaby on her beloved home patch during this long weekend based in a traditional hotel in a quaint Edwardian resort on the Suffolk coast.

Also visit the medieval city of Norwich to discover its rich textiles history and enjoy talks by two of east Anglia’s big quilting names.

At Karin’s Wickham Market shop and teaching centre you’ll quilt using a complementary kit and enjoy a ’show and tell’ session. You’ll also get a fascinating insight into 500 years of textiles fashion, style and technology at the Norwich Costume and Textile Study Centre, have time to trade ideas with your fellow quilters, and enjoy hearing about the quilting exploits of Lynne Edwards and Pippa Moss.
 

In between there are opportunities to enjoy the delights of the four-star Ufford Park Hotel and Spa; explore the medieval delights of Norwich; discover delightful Woodbridge on the river Deben; visit renowned Snape Maltings; and stroll past the fishermen’s boats and huts at Aldeburgh, perhaps pausing to buy fresh fish and chips. All in all, a quilter’s delight.
