“Let it Bee Mini Quilt”
Bees are so important to our world… So let’s create a little haven for them in fabric and stitchery from one of Susan’s newest designs! She will guide you through many of her beloved stitches. Layer and collage a background of hand dyed fabrics then embellish with many unique embroidery and stumpwork (3-D) stitches. Master those dreaded Bullion Stitches, along with perfect French Knots, Picot Stitches, Drizzle Stitches, Raised Cup Stitch, Rosette Chain Stitch, Leaf Stitches, and many, many more! Mini Quilts can be put together in a wall quilt, fabric book, or garland/Prayer Flag for display. If you are new to embroidery, don’t worry, Susan will teach you her little tips and tricks!
