Remember always dreaming of the underwater world a beautiful Mermaid lives in as a child…. all the beautiful glistening shells and beautiful sea foliage…..Explore this underwater “Mermaid Garden” with Susan as you learn many embellishing techniques & hand embroidery techniques. There will be appliqué with hand embroidery finishes and 3-D stitches to create textures for each page of your fabric book. Stamping on fabric for a design which will be stitched and highlighted using Crayons!

             B. MOUNTAIN VISTA

The NC mountains are a perfect place to view beautiful scenery, with the rolling hills and delicate wildflowers along every path…. Roadsides and trails are full of amazing inspiration for this very unique project! Susan has created many different fabric books from Italy to Alaska, her love of hand stitching, painting, collage, and collecting, all combines to create these little treasures. In this class she will walk you through creating landscapes, embroidered flowers, 3-D elements from photos, collage appliqué and thread painting by hand to create unusual textures. All of which will be lavished with hand embroidery techniques using hand-dyed fabrics, trims, and threads. Join Susan for a weekend of creating your very own “Mountaintop Vista” keepsake! Note, Sewing machines are not needed for this class.
