Crazy Patch Embroidery RE322
(Level 2) In each Crazy Patch Embroidery class, a different set of stitches is taught that can be made into a “stitch page", added to your crazy patch, or to a special project. In July we will be starting a journey with our new progressive wallhanging worked on a soft colored background with no print, and vintage hand embroidered laces. If you are taking on the entire project it will take four classes in order to learn the different techniques and stitches OR if you wish to work them separately you can do that also. We will be starting with the glorious snail amongst the garden flowers while utilizing our scrumptious threads.
