Join us for Secrets of the Sea: Crazy Quilting Odyssey with Marion Speers
Enjoy embellishing a patchwork block with ocean themed stitches, shells, beads, buttons and silk ribbons. Review basic embroidery stitches prior to using a layering technique to add matte, silk, or metallic threads, beads, buttons, charms, silk ribbon, and found objects related to an ocean theme.
We will explore attachment of objects to the piece, and create free standing netting to hold pearls, beach glass small pebbles etc. If you have any such treasures at home and want to use them, please bring to class. The instructor will also discuss and demonstrate patchwork construction.
This project may be finished as a wall hanging, a box top treatment or inclusion into a larger piece.
Some experience with embroidery stitches, and using embroidery and beading needles, will be helpful for this class.
There will be a $25 supply fee paid to the instructor on the first day of class. Supplies include a completed patchwork block, threads, beads, buttons, shells, charm, and instructions,
What to bring:
- $25 supply fee
- bring small scissors
- pins
- small container for beads
