This class is “just for fun”! If you are into Crazy Quilts or just like to embellish clothing or other textiles with needlework, this class will be packed with ideas of different ways to do that.
In addition to reviewing a few embroidery stitches and threads, we will play with silk ribbons to manipulate them into flowers and ruched garlands. There are also elements from other areas of needlework that lend themselves to colorful, textural decoration that include princess lace tapes, rococco ribbons, trims, rosemonte, beads, and other stuff.
You may bring your own crazy quilt square, another piece to work on, OR request that the instructor bring you a square (8” square of random fabrics) for an additional kit fee of $7.00. The basic class kit will include threads, ribbons, beads, lace tapes, needles, and printed instructions. The class kit fee of $16.00 is to be paid to the instructor the first day of class.
If you wish to order the extra crazy-quilt square, please email info@arbutusfolkschool.org ahead of time to let us know.
