Embellish and Decorate Your Work with Karen Crookes.
This is a weekend to explore hand stitching and the fact that a lowly running stitch can be turned into simply stunning stitches to embellish and decorate your work.
We will begin the weekend with some machine piecing. You can either choose to do this ‘free style’ or use a simple foundation pieced pattern. This will give us the basis of our blocks that we will then focus on to embellish.
If you want to complete a small project, then why not make some cushions, or a table runner. For those of you who want to indulge in your hand stitching, think big and create your own size quilt! All versions will use the same techniques. This is an excellent chance to dive into your stash.
The weekend is ideal for beginners through to those with more experience.
