North Star Medallion (36” x 36”). The design began as a 11” x 11” papercut.
This is a playful, creative workshop. Remember folding and cutting paper snowflakes as a child? We’ll use similar techniques to explore the design possibilities as you create a mini reverse applique medallion pattern. Then you’ll transfer your design onto paper to make a pattern. We’ll discuss design considerations like size and ways to manipulate your pattern, and helpful tools. Once satisfied, we put it into fabric so you can bring it to life in living color by hand reverse applique using our signature Trace, Baste, Snip, & Stich method. Learn how to create added dimensions to your piece by combining reverse applique with applique. As you stitch gain insights and tips to master pesky inside and outside points and stitch smooth, graceful curves.
