We are two adventurous Aussie quilters providing once-in-a-lifetime luxury travel & quilting experiences.
With many famous quilting friends we bring so much more to our tours when we include exclusive workshops and quilting events in our itinerary. Together, our knowledge of the quilting industry is vast and is only surpassed by our passion to share it with others and create tours that are a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
