For women who live and breathe fabric, there’s nothing quite like the energy and inspiration of a dedicated quilting retreat. At Wacky Jacky’s, we’re passionate about bringing quilters together in beautiful Bali for experiences that blend creativity, learning, and connection. Our quilt tours and textile retreats for 2026 are now open for bookings, and we’re ready to welcome you for a getaway that’s all about fabric, friendship, and fun.
Why Choose Quilt Tours and Textile Retreats in Bali?
Our retreats are more than just holidays. They’re immersive journeys into the heart of quilting, guided by experienced tutors and surrounded by the vibrant culture of Bali. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or new to the craft, you’ll find a welcoming community and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.
The 2026 season features the return of our Mystery Quilt Retreat with Pauline Rogers, a highlight for many of our guests. Over 12 days, you’ll dive deep into creative techniques, from Quilt As You Go to appliqué, Celtic patterns, fabric manipulation, and more. Pauline’s approach is hands-on and supportive, making complex skills accessible and fun.
Experience the Magic of a 2026 Quilt Retreat
Every quilt retreat is designed to balance learning with relaxation. You’ll stay in seafront accommodation in Candidasa, a tranquil village on Bali’s north-east coast. Our retreats include daily breakfasts, welcome dinners, and plenty of time to enjoy the local shops, restaurants, and scenery.
We know that every quilter’s journey is unique. That’s why our Bali quilting retreat 2026 offers a flexible itinerary. Spend your mornings in intensive workshops, your afternoons sewing with friends or relaxing by the sea, and your evenings exploring Bali’s local culture. It’s your retreat, your way.
Learn from the Best: Pauline Rogers Mystery Quilt Retreat
Pauline Rogers is a name synonymous with innovation and passion in the quilting world. At our Bali quilting retreat 2026, you’ll have the chance to learn directly from her, exploring techniques like free motion quilting that you can use on any home machine. The Mystery Quilt project is revealed bit by bit, keeping things exciting and giving you a stunning finished piece to take home.
You’ll also discover how to use texturing, appliqué, and fabric manipulation to add depth and personality to your projects. These skills aren’t just for the Mystery Quilt. They’re tools you’ll use in your quilting practice for years to come.
Dive into Bali’s Textile Culture
A true 2026 quilt retreat is about more than what happens in the studio. We take you behind the scenes to discover Bali’s unique textile traditions. You’ll enjoy a day out making your own Batik fabric, guided by local artisans, and have the chance to shop for quilting fabric cotton and premium batik fabric online direct from the source.
Our retreats include special access to Wacky Jacky’s Bali fabric shop, where you can browse exclusive designs at VIP rates. Whether you’re searching for the perfect quilting fabric cotton or want to add to your stash of premium batik fabric online, you’ll find something to spark your creativity.
Community, Connection, and Creative Growth
One of the best parts of our quilt tours and textile retreats is the sense of community that develops. You’ll meet women from all over Australia and beyond, each bringing their own stories and skills. Our studio is a space where ideas flow freely, laughter is shared, and friendships are formed that last long after the retreat ends.
We believe that creativity flourishes in a supportive environment. Whether you’re tackling a new technique or just enjoying the process, our team and your fellow quilters are always there to encourage you. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused, giving you space to experiment and grow.
The Fabric Lover’s Paradise
Bali is a dream destination for anyone who loves fabric. Our Bali quilting retreat 2026 puts you right in the heart of this textile paradise. You’ll have the chance to shop for quilting fabric cotton in vibrant prints and colours, as well as discover the beauty of premium batik fabric online that’s made using traditional methods.
Our day trips and shopping tours are designed to give you insider access to the best fabric finds. Whether you’re searching for something unique for your next project or want to be inspired, you’ll be surrounded by endless possibilities.
More Than a Getaway: A Creative Adventure
Our 2026 quilt retreat is more than just a break from routine. It’s a chance to challenge yourself, try new things, and return home with skills and memories that last. From the excitement of the Mystery Quilt reveal to the peaceful moments spent sewing by the sea, every day offers something to look forward to.
We understand that every quilter is different, which is why our quilt tours and textile retreats are designed with flexibility and choice in mind. Whether you want to focus on learning, relaxation, or a bit of both, you’ll find your perfect balance here.
