SUMMARY:SewClusion Retreat 2026 : Galong (NSW)
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\n\n\nSewClusion 2026\nThursday 30th July – Monday 3rd August 2026 \nSt Clement’s Retreat & Conference Centre\, Galong \n\nMandy & I are thrilled to introduce our second Sew Clusion Retreat\, specially designed for you to take a break\, relax\, and explore your creativity over four enjoyable nights. \n\nThe Location:\n\nSt. Clement’s Retreat and Conference Centre is a historic venue situated in the beautiful Hilltops region of NSW\, along Kalangan Rd in Galong. It’s approximately 3.5 hours from Sydney and 1.5 hours from Canberra\, nestled on 800 acres of stunning landscapes\, expansive gardens\, and a serene\, tranquil environment. \n\nThe Workshops \nLorena Uriarte\n\nJoin Lorena Uriarte for a day of playful exploration and stripe bending magic! With over two decades of quilting experience and a love of colour\, movement and meticulous detail\, Lorena is known for transforming simple fabrics into dynamic\, eye catching compositions. Her stripey quilts in particular have a habit of surprising people and now she’s sharing the tricks behind them. \nSpend a day bending stripes to your will! In this hands on workshop\, you’ll explore just how far a simple (or complex) striped fabric can go. Through three engaging exercises\, you’ll learn to fussy cut with intention and use a mix of machine piecing\, appliqué and English paper piecing to coax stripes into movement\, direction and unexpected secondary patterns. \nAs you play\, you’ll discover how small shifts in placement create rhythm\, illusion and delightful surprises. Your samples can become a handy sewing caddy or project pouch or you can keep building on the ideas to design your own stripe inspired masterpiece. And throughout the day\, you’ll be guided and inspired by Lorena’s own quilts\, where stripes step out of line and transform into something truly special. \nRachael Daisy\n\nNothing makes a person happier than having a happy heart.” Celebrate all your favourite fabrics with this happy scrappy heart quilt under Rachael’s direction discover a quilt that uses a mix of easy hand applique and machine piecing. \n‘Groove Is In The Heart’ has a fresh\, modern\, vintage feel with lots of dots\, checks\, small geometrics\, flowery florals and a few novelty prints for a whimsical touch. So perfectly pretty and cosy\, the way a heart quilt should be\, but then some other colour themes that I can imagine would be.. \n-A Valentine’s Dream – classic reds on low volume fabrics. \n-Pretty Liberty fabrics on contrasting solids. \n-Civil War beauties on shirting backgrounds. \n-Bright popping colours on black/white backgrounds. \n-Black and white hearts on an aqua background. \n-30’s prints or feed sacks always bring smiles \n-A colourful mish-mash of all colours\, sometimes the more you throw in the better it looks. \nThe heart blocks are made with machine pieced backgrounds and easy hand applique for the hearts using freezer paper applique to help achieve easy crisp curves. \nThe original quilt is 77in x 85in however the size can be adjusted by adding or subtracting rows. \n  \n\nFOR MORE INFO & WAITING LIST CONTACT: Mandy Schiller at Fabric Sauce

SUMMARY:Thread House Retreat w/ Karen Lewis at Harewood House (UK)
DESCRIPTION:Harewood House –  22-25 Sept 2026 { SOLD OUT}\nI am delighted to be returning to the Harewood Estate in the heart of Yorkshire for 2026. \nThe retreat will be taking place over three nights and is designed to be a retreat in the real sense of the world – a chance to get away from the outside world\, slow down and unwind. \nMy guest for September is the wonderful Lorena Uriarte all the way from Sydney\, Australia! Lorena is an exemplary teacher and will be joining me in providing mindful workshops over the weekend. \nAccommodation will be in cottages set within a terraced complex. These Grade II Listed buildings ooze character and have been stylishly\, luxuriously and very comfortably renovated. \nHarewood Sewing Retreats have an emphasis on mindful slow stitching and exploring your creativity. The demos and guided tutorials will have a relaxed\, intimate feel and encompass a range of hand stitching and embroidery techniques. Lorena and Karen have designed a project especially for the retreat. \nIncludes full board and lodging for a fun and friendly secluded chill out (but does not include the optional lunch at the estate café on the day of arrival). \nThe retreat starts on Tuesday afternoon on 22nd September to the morning of Friday 25th September 2026. \nThis retreat is sold out but you can join Karen’s newsletter to hear of any future events. \nhttps://karenlewistextiles.us15.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a7f692f188de2a22c2a4c102a&id=c087a23532
