Lilacbarn Craft Courses

Dawn Cameron-Dick is returning to teach in the barn in the summer and autumn 2008. Come and enjoy the company of other quilters, have expert tuition in the barn and eat home cooked lunches what could be more idyllic.

Both of the courses will be full of ideas,tips and suggestions for you to design your own quilt and enhance your quilting skills. You can follow a pattern from one of Dawn’s books or finish that project that has been sitting around for some time.

Students will be able to sew as much or as little as they please…you are here to enjoy yourself and take in the ambience of the Somerset Levels, River Parrett and the gardens of Lilac Barn.

Outings can be made to Quilting shops, or local attractions…Wells Cathedral, Street (factory outlets) Glastonbury and its Abbey or the local Willow and Basket Centre.
