A getaway that afford crochet enthusiasts the opportunity to work on their own projects and share amongst each other while enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the Karoo in winter.
Welcome
I am a passionate textile artist and textile enthusiast.
My creative journey took me from the art of quiltmaking to discovering
different stitching techniques and how to apply that to textile/fibre art pieces.
Events
We host workshops, courses and events on a regular basis in interesting venues like for example
Nieu Bethesda in the Karoo.
You can look forward to attending events with charming names like Creative Karoo, Quilts in a Church,
Art Quilt Retreat and many more.
Classes
Antoinette is passionate about the art of quilt making and loves to share with anybody who wants to learn!
She has been teaching since 2004, and is a SAQG accredited quilt teacher and quilt judge.
She finds great satisfaction in empowering the student to create a quilt of her own with confidence
Featured Event
Nestled below the Compassberg, Nieu Bethesda is an oasis in the arid Karoo. Well known for the Owl House, this village also boasts a few art galleries, restaurants, fossils expeditions and donkey cart rides! Also in town, is a beautiful Dutch Reformed Church building, with the congregation who celebrated its 140th birthday in 2018. For the first time in its history, the building hosted a quilt exhibition in December 2019! The last exhibition took place in 2023, with the next to be in 2025.
