Traditional needlework: the basics of colourful quilting at Soetmelksvlei

Only 10 places available

Join us for a hands-on quilting workshop at Soetmelksvlei and learn two fundamental quilting techniques.

Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical Soetmelksvlei farmyard, which represents a time when life was simpler, and craftsmanship was treasured.

Here, renowned quilting master Doortjie Gersbach will share her extensive knowledge of the art of quilting. Guests will try their hand at two different techniques, the beautiful Grandma’s flower garden and Japanese fold. This class will focus exclusively on hand-quilting, where there is no need for a sewing machine.

A hearty lunch will be served in the Old Stables Restaurant before guests return to Babylonstoren.
