A Quilt ESKape is a great weekend away in the country and many quilters come back time and time again to enjoy a weekend of carefree sewing, eating, chatting and laughing.
Quilt ESKapes are held a couple of times a year in Esk, Qld. Australia. Esk is 100km west of Brisbane. From Brisbane you can come in either from the south side over Wivenhoe Dam, or from the north side via Somerset Dam. Both routes are scenic with excellent roads. People travelling from the South Burnett drive via D'Aguilar Hwy and take the Esk turn past Colinton. When you book for the first time, your info kit will include a map.
There are 2 types:
- General Quilt ESKape every autumn and spring
- Special Quilt ESKape anytime. A special Quilt ESKape can be requested by any group of quilters. Minimum number is 7. Get 10 and the organiser goes for free!

During the weekend, you have a choice of three workshops which will be taught concurrently. So far, I've had a request for Double Wedding Ring Quilt and Machine Quilting.
Like to do something else? Just ask!
Learn how to do beautiful machine quilting on your domestic sewing machine. It is quick, it is beautiful and it clears your stash of UFOs so you can start another project without feeling quilty.
For more information just ask Hetty for the Requirments!
And of course: feel free to bring one of those UFOs to work on uninterrupted!
As of time of updating, there is still the option of another workshop, so feel free to nomintate one!
