Fabric, Flowers & Stitch Workshop
I never tire of beautiful flowers and I am excited to share this workshop with you.
Using a combination of simple stitches and floral fabrics learn how to form flowers and leaves to create a lovely art piece. These techniques can be used to embellish garments and other stitched work too.
Sit down, take in the colours, peruse the yarns, fabrics and samples and enjoy a day stitching, including French knots, mosaic weaving, detached chain stitch, Pistil stitch and Turkey work.
If you are an experienced stitcher and are contemplating this workshop, let me tell you a little more.
Experience the joy of stitching without a plan or pattern and a full palette of hand dyed wool yarns. Bliss!
Hand dyed yarns are so beautiful to stitch with, they are very forgiving and also provide inspiration for further colour choices in your piece. Every stitch can be a surprise as colours appear and your flowers take shape. It feels a little like magic!
Many of the more experienced stitchers who have come to my workshop can’t believe how uninhibited it is to stitch with these beautiful yarns and although they know the actual stitches, combining them in different ways is very fulfilling and they often come up with the most amazing combinations.
Enjoy the pleasure and freedom of stitching while working with quality materials and the deep experience of colour and ease of wool yarn. Use beautiful floral fabric flowers to add another design element to your work.
I will provide an assortment of beautiful hand dyed yarn and floral fabrics at the workshop with enough to take home so you can finish your piece.
Please bring along your own sharp scissors and any floral fabric scraps you might like to use.
I will have scissors and floral fabrics too so don’t stress if you don’t have these things.
