​

In February 2026 we have something NEW and very special on offer for you, to take advantage of the

summer weather and enjoy Susan and Annie's stunning garden and hospitality.

​

It's a Fete Champetre ~ A Garden Party lunch ~ a longer, relaxing lunch which we will enjoy

outdoors and it will take place on one of the days.

​

It's also a Finishing School Retreat ~ bring along your quilts in progress

and we will help you to get them over the line to finished quilts.

​

Join Margaret and Judy in the lovingly restored Chapel at Babbington Park, Lyonville, Vic.

 

It's an opportunity for you to escape to the picturesque Spa Region of Central Victoria. 

Meet up with old friends and make new ones while stitching under

Judy & Margaret's expert and gentle tuition.

​​​​​

Classes are now for three days, and you'll receive all the tuition you need to complete, or get further along on,

 any of Margaret or Judy's designs you have underway. 

​​

Annie Smithers, the renowned chef and owner of Du Fermier Restaurant, Trentham and Babbington Park,

will be preparing our delicious and seasonal Lunches, Morning & Afternoon Teas each day.

 

  Annie’s 'farm to table' produce and her books will be available to purchase.

​

Accommodation is not included, but you will find many delightful B&B/Guesthouse options in the surrounding area, not too far from Babbington Park, Lyonville.
