Welcome to our 7-night Threads of Éire Quilting Tour, a journey through Ireland where craft, culture, and creativity intertwine! Begin in Dublin with a warm welcome brunch, a stroll through the lush National Botanic Gardens, and a step back in time at Glasnevin Cemetery. Discover the intricate art of Japanese quilting at Lisnavagh House.
Indulge in sparkling afternoon tea at Newbridge Silverware, and explore the Museum of Style Icons. Throughout the tour, hands-on workshops await as you dive into traditional Irish crafts, from Lumra woolwork to the history of Irish lace making. Later, arrive at the charming Manor House Country Hotel on the serene shores of Lough Erne.
The creative magic continues with embroidery for quilting, a special demonstration by the Irish Countrywomen’s Association. It is then followed by a heart-warming visit to Dolly’s Cottage. After, try your hand at botanical dyeing, explore Galway’s vibrant streets, and raise a glass at Ireland’s oldest pub in Athlone.
A highlight of the journey is a visit to the Irish Museum of Modern Art to see Kith & Kin: The Quilts of Gee’s Bend, the first Irish exhibition of the legendary African American quilt makers. Their bold, improvisational designs, born from resilience and cultural pride, have influenced modern art and civil rights history. Finally, wrap up your Threads of Éire adventure with a farewell meal. Celebrate new friendships, creative inspiration, and the shared stories woven into every stitch!
