Arrive late afternoon on the Monday to cream tea in the lounge and a warm welcome from your tutor.
A thought for the day is given each morning, for all staff and guests who choose to take a few minutes reflection before beginning the day's activities.
During the week you will work on a quilting project at morning and afternoon sessions in the studio at Gartmore House. By the end of your holiday you will have completed your chosen small/medium project or be well on with a larger quilt (or finished that if you are very speedy!) Projects include a tote bag, cushions, wll hanging/lap/cot quilt or larger bed quilt.
Wednesday afternoon gives free time to explore on your own or visit a local attraction.
Spend the evenings in our lounge where we provide a variety of entertainment which could include a history of the house with its wonderful tale of politics poetry and passion, (you may be interested particularly in the Cayzer Room freize, which past quilters have used in their designs), quizzes and an evening of Scottish music, or if you choose, continue work on your project.
Departure is after breakfast on the Friday.
What do I need?
A list of materials to bring will be sent to you on booking. We do ask that you bring your own sewing machine. If however this is not possible, we are able to provide one for use during your holiday at a small charge.
