Third Annual Dumfries and Galloway Quilt Festival – Friday 22nd September to Sunday 8th October

This year the Quilters of Shambellie are inviting people to take part in a ‘Shambellie Challenge’ by creating a wall hanging inspired by the house and/or grounds of Shambellie House. This 2023 challenge is an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of the house and grounds. In particular, there are many quirky elements of the house for example the servant’s bell in every room. We have provided a gallery of photographs for you to be inspired by however please email quilters@shambelliehouse.org to arrange to pop in to the House from Tuesday to Friday or at weekends when classes are on if you wish to seek your own perspective.

The Quilt Festival is a two week exhibition and will include all the Quilts from the ‘ Shambellie Challenge’.
