Suzanne Marshall Workshop - Wacky Birds - July 22 - 24, 2010
As Of 6/30/10 - This workshop is now closed.

Wacky Bird

Hand stitching a “wacky bird” is bound to make you laugh! What could be more fun than that? Choose from nine distinctly different wacky bird patterns to create your personal wacky bird. Tips will be given for needle-turning and perfecting sharp points, inside curves, rounded corners, and smooth edges.

Use take-away appliqué for pattern placement (no markings on the background or transparent overlays), making the multi-pieced bird fit together with ease. Embroidery will help define the bird from the background. Experiment with different colors of floss and see how it changes the appliquéd bird.
