Join Gudrun Erla of GE Designs on a fun-filled coach tour of London and the surrounding area, as well a 2 day admission to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England. Space is limited so register early.
The Festival of Quilts was launched in 2003 in partnership with The Quilters’ Guild as a hub for people from all over the world to come together and share their passion for quilting.
20 years on and it’s now the biggest quilting show in Europe, featuring workshops, talks, one of the world’s largest quilt competitions, a huge range of quilt materials and brands to shop from, and so much more!
The entire trip will be fully hosted and escorted by a member of Travel Adventures by Michelle’s team, a local tour director, and Gudrun and Kirk. We hope you will join us.
