Critter & Clover or Tinsel Block of the Month



These wonderful quilts by Sue Spargo are full of wool appliqué and hand embroidery goodness. Nine sweet critters surrounded by flowers and cute little insects with a wide variety of embellishment stitches. It finishes 23.5" x 23.5".  Or choose the Tinsel quilt by Sue Spargo, Sue's latest small study masterpiece celebrates the magic of Christmas trees. Each tree shows off its unique personality through dazzling decor such as festive lights, brightly colored baubles, and adorable little mittens and stockings. The soft white on white background allows the colorful trees to shine with cheer, and the blue border adorned with cascading snowflakes wraps it all up with a bow. 

Each class will feature new embroidery stitches and detailed instructions for the wool appliqué and all embellishments. There is a kit available and Audra will guide you through choosing threads and other elements to make your quilt your own. I do not use fusible backings but you are welcome to do so and you will need to add those to your supplies. We usually order lunch or you can bring a lunch

Instructor Bio: Audra L. Kennedy of Needle Finery Beginning at age 8, Audra started sewing. By age 11 she picked up cross stitching and soon after, silk ribbon embroidery which began a new love for all things handwork. Since then she has immersed herself in many new techniques, projects, and classes. Audra is a past board member of the Alabama chapter of EGA, a member and past president of the Heirloom Smockers of Huntsville, and has served on the board of the Heritage Quilters of Huntsville Guild. She has taught classes in smocking, silk ribbon embroidery, French hand sewing, quilted bag construction, English paper piecing, and wool appliqué. Her interests also include crewel work, thread painting, hand appliqué, and all types of quilting. With a BS degree in Interior Design from Auburn University, Audra has transitioned from that 30 year career into designing her own wool appliqué patterns and a series of silk ribbon projects. She is now an award winning quilt maker and stays busy teaching and designing new embroidery patterns. Audra is a Huntsville, Alabama native and she and her husband Kevin live there with their dog Lily.
