Join us for a hands-on quilting workshop at Soetmelksvlei, a delightful new excursion by Babylonstoren. Presented by Doortjie Gersbach.

Prepare to learn two fundamental quilting techniques as we embark on our journey at the Babylonstoren ticket office. Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical Soetmelksvlei farmyard, which represents a time when life was simpler and craftsmanship was treasured.

Here, renowned quilting master Doortjie Gersbach will share her extensive knowledge of the art of quilting. Guests will try their hand at two different techniques, including the beautiful“grandma’s flower garden” & “Japanese fold”.

This class will focus exclusively on hand quilting, where there is no need for a sewing machine and will be presented by Doortjie Gersbach.

A hearty lunch will be served in the Old Stables Restaurant before guests return to Babylonstoren.
