Join Audra to learn the basics of wool applique and decorative embroidery stitches. You can choose to make the bag or a round accent pillow. She will walk you step-by-step through the process of applying the wool fabric to the background, then using decorative stitches to embellish the figures as little or as much as you like.

In class, we will go over every aspect of the wool applique process, including the embellishing stitches. Then you will be given detailed instructions on how to finish your piece at home into a bag or into a pillow. The project finishes 14” round. There are also opportunities to meet with Audra to get help finishing your project.

You are welcome to bring your lunch and a drink or we will order Steak Out so bring cash if you prefer to order.
