Here at the Royal Bridlington we have been running workshops and retreats for several years. We have a spacious workroom with great lighting and tables & chairs which are the perfect height for sewing.
(and here is a pic of Jennie Rayment’s happy group at their show & tell)
Our workshops include morning coffee and homemade biscuits, a delicious two course hot and cold buffet lunch plus tea or coffee, then afternoon tea with homemade cake. For students on the retreat package we provide a three course dinner plus coffee and accommodation and breakfast, but best of all – unlimited evening sewing time. Non-quilting partners are also welcome for retreats.
The Royal Bridlington has 18 ensuite bedrooms and is located in the beautiful South Beach area of Bridlington, East Yorkshire , just across the road to the sea. The Royal Bridlington is rated 4 Star G/A by the AA.

Wednesday 30th September
Twisting Triads:A vibrant pattern is achieved by pairing tones in a range of contrasting fabric strips.
Valerie Nesbitt 6th/7th/8th Oct 2015
Tues 6th: Disappearing blocks -these are such fun and easy to do; 9 Patch is perhaps the most well-known but there are other options also available.
Wed 7th:Fast Flying Geese with no waste; this is a technique that Valerie employs a lot in her patchwork as there are no triangles to cut and you make 4 at once!
Thurs 8th: Scrap Braids; a great use of a simple shape – the rectangle – with our without chimney stones; make a real dent in those scraps and no need to worry about colour – anything and everything goes!
Alternative option with a Christmas theme – a little 3 pocket wallhanging that uses your lovely fabric or indeed a pre-printed panel.
Beginners always welcome
