Using the surrounding countryside as inspiration we will make small quilts / wall-hangings, using different patchwork and applique techniques, based on collage or iPad designs. We will experiment using different hand sewing techniques, including couching, the use of freezer paper, needle turn applique and embroidery stitches. Annette will also show you how to use pastel sticks to make very original works of art which can also be stitched. Sewing machines will also be available.
