The Quiltastic India textile tour in October 7-21, 2019 will be a wonderful unique experience where you will learn some fabulous new techniques and immerse yourself in the glorious culture of the local people. But don't just take our word, here is a testimonial from one of our travelers from earlier this year!
"I enjoyed a wonderful trip through Gujarat with Shakti Holidays. Deepa was wonderful and her knowledge and research allowed me to have some unique experiences with textiles I never would have experienced otherwise. For example I spent an entire day sewing with the rabari women in a small village learning their embroidery techniques. What an amazing experience! I also had the opportunity to learn block printing from start to finish, as well as Rowan fabric painting. Our journey was interspersed with cultural visits to temples, markets, and charities teaching sustainable textile techniques. One highlight was staying in a remote village near the rann desert for the full
Moon festival! Deepa was very easy going and easy to get along with making the trip very relaxing as well. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!”
