You know all those special bits of fabrics, trims, laces and ribbons you have been saving for something special. Well this is it!!!

You will construct a small crazy patchwork quilt using quick and easy cutting and piecing methods. The quilt will be reminiscent in style to the Victorian days using a combination of luxurious fabrics, and trims. It will then be embellished using simple but effective techniques. You can use as little or as much embellishment as you like. It can be done by hand or machine or a combination of the two.

Kits can be provided, but remember this is your opportunity to use some of those fabrics from your stash.

Put a modern twist on a bygone era using your recycled doilies along with old and new lace to create your own modern doily or table runner. If you don’t have the spot for that what about turning it into a document pouch or purse. With the use of water soluble fabric this piece is constructed and decorated using free motion creative machine embroidery. You will then have the option to further embellish with a little hand beading and stitch.
