"Kim and Debbi were both wonderful; I would love to travel with them again. Both were friendly, fun, and thorough.
Tony and Richard were both superb! They were among the best I’ve experienced and enriched the tour experience."

2017 Quilt Shop & Textile Tour of Scotland Traveler
Celtic Quilt Tours, LLC is a US based company founded by Debbi Cagney (Houston, TX USA) and Kim Caskey (Edmonton, AB Canada). The company was founded in 2013 after we returned from hosting separate quilt tours for another company. Following those tours in 2013, we decided to branch out and offer real quilt shop tour experiences for quilters to Ireland, thus Celtic Quilt Tours, LLC was formed.

Looking to work with top travel industry experts, Celtic Quilt Tours teamed up with Journeys Connect and Kerry Coaches. Journeys Connect has over 25 years experience in the travel industry and Kerry Coaches is the premier coach company in Ireland. Working closely with these companies has allowed us to offer quilt and textile tours throughout Ireland, Scotland, France, Iceland, Canada, Wales, England, Japan with new tours scheduled in 2021 to Prague & Vienna and Newfoundland, Canada.

Celtic Quilt Tours is proud to be celebrating our 8th anniversary in 2021. We continue to search out new and exciting itineraries while building extended partnerships with quilters worldwide.

Celtic Quilt Tours is pleased to announce the following upcoming tours: 

2021:
  • Quilt Shop & Textile Tour of Newfoundland, Canada 
  • Quilt & Textile Tour of Prague & Vienna, including the Prague Patchwork Meeting
  • Quilt & Textile Tour to Ireland & Scotland, with a post-tour excursion to the Birmingham Festival of Quilts
2022:

  • New Tours to Quilt Shows around the world
