In this event you will learn: single-hoop embroidery on a ready-made article, multi hooping, piecing in the hoop, how to install a zipper, embroider a quilted design and so much more. During the 2 days you will make and finish 6 embroidery projects all in the hoop. Included with your Kimberbell event, you’ll receive an exclusive sewing bag completely filled with Kimberbell fabric, paper tape, ribbon, buttons, and more to make six amazing event projects.

Salmon and Raven

.
You will be proud to show off this beautiful wall hanging anywhere in your house. It is best made of Melton Cloth (which is 100% wool and doesn’t fray) but can be made with any good quality cotton as well. (Batik works better as it is less likely to fray in the cotton line of fabrics). It is a raw-edge applique and yes, it’s a lot of painstaking cutting but the results are worth it! Start hunting now in your favorite thrift stores for some REAL mother-of-pearl buttons to make this as authentic looking as possible.
