Your teacher
Pat Archibald
Pat is a UK textile artist and tutor based in Edinburgh. Her fascination for fabric began in her childhood when she discovered her grandmother’s scrap bag bursting at the seams with exotic fabrics and by the age of 11, she had created her first piece of patchwork. Throughout her creative career, Pat has exhibited her work worldwide, won some wonderful awards and even established Scotland’s first dedicated patchwork and quilting shop.
Pat loves to travel both around her home country as well as further afield. As her own horizons grow literally, then so too do the experiences that she can then express in her quilt making. She feels that each collection of quilts has its own unique identity and captures the essence of her view of the country or city.
Your host
Still proudly independently owned to this day, Arena Travel has developed its reputation for delivering high-quality special interest holidays over nearly four decades. Through the years the variety and number of tours on offer has grown, but the aim has always remained the same – to provide a truly personal service catering for both group and individual needs, leaving people free to enjoy their holiday to the full.Arena can in fact lay claim to being something of a trailblazer in the travel sector and has been responsible for some impressive firsts: We were the first company to charter the supersonic passenger airliner Concorde, the first to organise day trips across the Channel to Calais back in the 1970s and the first to offer tours to modern China following the lifting of the Bamboo Curtain.
