Celtic Quilt Journeys, LLC is a US based company owned by Debbi Cagney (Houston, TX USA). Debbi was previously the owner and founder of Celtic Quilt Tours, with a business parter. After ten years, the company had grown so much that we decided to close the company to pursue other ventures.

We are very excited about the team of caring and dedicated Tour Hosts we've assembled who will work to make your travel fun and enjoyable.
Looking to continue working with top travel industry experts, Celtic Quilt Journeys will continue working with Journeys Connect and their affiliates. Journeys Connect has over 30 years' experience in the travel industry. Debbi has worked closely with Journeys Connect for over 10 years and has planned and coordinated tours with them throughout Ireland, Scotland, France, Iceland, Wales, England, and Japan.

A life-long sewing and crafting enthusiast, Debbi began quilting in 2011 and won her first ribbon in 2013.
Debbi has been planning and hosting quilt and textile tours for over ten years to worldwide destinations including, multiple tours to Ireland, Scotland, France, Canada, Iceland, Wales, England, Japan and Newfoundland. Not to mention hosting quilting friends and travelers attending the Houston International Quilt Festival and Market (local for Debbi). Over the years, Debbi has always put the travelers comfort and safety first. One rule Debbi has always adhered to is only bring a group of travelers to a country that she has visited. In 2025 Celtic Quilt Journeys is heading to Austria, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic - a new favorite destination of Debbi’s after a preview tour visit in 2024. Debbi wants to thank y’all for traveling with her and hopes that your on-going Journey is filled with love, adventure and travel! |

Expertise, reliability, flexibility, as well as innovative product and services.

"Everyone was helpful, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and etc.
I appreciate that for Debbi and Kim this is a labor of love and not just labor.
It really showed through in the thoughtfulness and everything Debbi did for us.
And it may be Tony's job, but you can tell that he really enjoys it and enjoys being excellent at what he does.
He made me fall in love with Ireland and appreciate the complex layers of history."
