Folk Art Applique Workshop

There are still places on the Folk Art Applique course I am running for Kate Jackson at MAKE in Allendale on 18th September. The course costs £60 and includes a delicious lunch at the Allendale Bakery and all materials. Check outhttp://makerecycledcraftworkshop.bigcartel.com for details on how to book.

The course looks to American appliqued quilts, folk art and domestic still life for inspiration. You will build up a pieced picture using traditional hand stitching techniques - applique, piecing and embroidery using a variety of fabrics. I will be there to guide you in terms of inspiration, design and composition. In the one day course you should be able to complete a piece like this ( if you work hard!).

I like doing pots and flowers but I encourage students to come up with their own ideas. Here is some work in progress from the last course I ran ( from student Anna Nesbitt)
