Free yourself of rules and enjoy meditative and therapeutic organic stitching. Anything goes! In this 5-day workshop with Sue, create a highly embellished sampler through appliqué, layering, and embellishment using hand dyed wool, textural fabrics, and a variety of threads in varying weights and fibers. You’ll spend time building the foundation of your sampler, incorporating hand-dyed velvet, cotton fabrics, and specialty fabrics collected from Sue’s treasures. Next, elevate your piece through stitchery by experimenting with thread and other embellishments.
An exclusive kit is available that will incorporate unique elements hand picked by Sue. If you purchase the kit you do not need to worry about bringing a background, extra wool and cotton for applique or ribbons.
