Stitching in the Maldives!! June 2027

I'm teaming up with Nicole from Red Door Tours for a dream escape to the breathtaking Maldives in 2027!!
 
Imagine eight days in paradise — turquoise waters, gentle island breezes, rich culture, beautiful food, time to truly relax… and of course, a little stitching in the sunshine. No wonder the Maldives are often at the top of lists for World's Best Holiday Destination. 
 
Highlights of the trip
• Stay on a local island in the Maldives
• Visit local communities and learn about the culture
• Meet like-minded creative travellers
• Enjoy delicious meals
• Organic stitching classes with Rachael Daisy, including a new release project (kit included)
• Meet local ladies and learn about traditional crafts from the Maldives
• Participate in a workshop of local weaving
• Swim, snorkle and enjoy the gorgeous surrounds
• Participate in as much or as little as you wish
• Relax, rest and recharge in tropical paradise,  ahhh so lovely… 


2026 
It's another big exciting year - Teaching in Switzerland, travelling to Portugal, textile tour in Morocco, road trips and flying trips around Australia, very excited to be teaching at New Zealand Quilt Symposium, and then a big visit to South Korea for lots of crafty fun.

I'm already planning for 2027.. with trips to Sri Lanka and the Maldives and other places too.
