A One Day Workshop with Laura Wasilowski Description: A well placed embroidery stitch on the surface of fabric brings a quilt to life. It lends the surface additional color, pattern, definition, and texture. In this class you will make a small flower quilt from a pre-fused fabric kit. Basic embroidery stitches are reviewed using brilliantly colored pearl cotton threads (also part of the kit). Learn to entice the viewer closer to your art with free form, unfettered embroidery.
