Which came first the chicken or the egg? In this class it's both! We will create a stack of three egg shaped boxes that will fit in perfectly with the other seasonal boxes we have created. The ones I was able to get are darling, but a little smaller than others we have done, so I added a darling vintage inspired nest complete with paper clay chick and eggs. It's primitive and whimsical and he just plain makes me happy

Ever wonder what to do with a box load of paper scraps? Or ribbon? Well, in this class you will help me get rid of a bunch. We will all create 7 cards that will be based on 7 on the same designs but may have a complete different color scheme than your neighbor. It will all depend on what I pull out and how I can make them go together. I promise it will be fun to see the variety we create and maybe even trade.

Birthday cards are always the ones we run out of first and creating a new theme is challenging for me, but looking back I realized I have never done a series based on vintage images.

Ever want to translate some of the skills we learn together to a new medium? We will take some of my paper piecing patterns and create a wonderful wool felt design that can be framed or made into a pillow. Wool felt is truly the easiest appliqué ever. No turning of edges and requires a simple in and out stitch. If you can sew a button you can wool felt appliqué. I promise you will fall in love with this Lady Liberty! Since this is the first time I will ever be teaching this, I'm not sure we will finish on class day. If you need to take it home I promise I will help you finish into either a wall piece or pillow. You will need to purchase your own 11" by 17" frame or stuffing for a pillow. PLEASE BRING: Sharp sewing scissors and a 8" embroidery hoop.
