15/7/19: Woodland Walk lap quilt holiday (3)

Here we have the 3rd Woodland Walk lap quilt made last week – this time out of very light aqua and cream, contrasting with cherry red – a lovely, refreshing colour combination!

Thoughts…

Why did she make things? Well, she enjoyed it, of course, but it also somehow helped her remember who she was and where she came from. (Amy Rubin Flett)

About me

Discover a new hobby while on holiday in Italy...

Hello... I'm Bronwen Shepherd and I run sewing holidays and workshops in my lovely studio in the beautiful countryside of Umbria, close to Lake Trasimeno. The front of the house looks out into Tuscany - Monte Cetona and Lake Chiusi, and the back of the house - beyond the olive grove - looks out over the rolling countryside of Umbria. I've got a Textiles degree and a PGCE (post graduate teaching qualification) in Textiles, for teaching age 11 to 18 years - I've got 13 years teaching experience in UK schools, as a teacher and latterly as Head of Department, teaching mainly A level Textiles. I've also got 4 years experience of running textile classes and residential holidays/retreats in France. I gave up my teaching career especially to do that - we moved to France, renovated the house, built a textile studio, and started the business there. In 2020, we moved to Umbria, to the Trasimeno area, where I had bought a holiday home in 2007, and I'm re-establishing my creative business here. Apart from teaching, I have 12 years experience as a designer/maker of Christening wear, something which I intend to start doing again, but I also have a few other creative ideas...

Location

We are in Italy – in Umbria, very close to the border with Tuscany, 45 minutes from Perugia, Assisi and Siena, 1.5 hours from Florence, 2 hours from Rome. Our closest town (approx. 10 minutes drive) is Castiglione del Lago, which is the main town on Lake Trasimeno, the 4th largest lake in Italy. See “About” tab along the top – under “Contact me” you’ll find a map.
