Winter in the Free State means Clarens Quilt Festival. The annual festival has grown from childhood to adulthood. It is the only annual quilt festival in the Free State and has grown over the last ten years from 7 to 330 participants.
The festival has a unique relaxing character due to the locality and the personal touch to everything. This year there will be 8 classes every day. The classes are small and students get lots of personal attention. It is the ideal get away for the beginner quilter and those that want to quilt in a relaxed environment. Five demonstrations will be presented on 28 June 2023.
The festival feeds all the senses: We listen to new ideas; We view quilts; The environment feeds the soul and we can touch lots of new fabrics and gadgets!
The 18th festival is from 28 June 2023 - 1 July 2023 at the c/o Sias Oosthuizen and Main Street at Something Quilty. Quilting groups are welcome to visit during the day and support the suppliers. The festival offers quilting.
