A New England Barn

Join Anne Kelly to make a farmyard inspired small hanging piece. Using a combination of your favourite quilt and vintage scraps you will be shown how to design and make it. You can add some favourite animals to your piece using a simple collage technique. Your piece will then be stitched together by hand and or machine, if desired. You will leave the workshop with your hanging ready to be backed and embellished further. A full list of materials will be sent to you prior to the course.

Materials List:

Bring any images you have of favourite animals

Background fabric (no larger than A3 square) strong cotton or linen union
