PQW News June 29, 2018 Edition

For beginning embroiderers, experienced embroiderers and everyone who falls in between, Boho Collage Embroidery will visually inspire you to play with color, fabric and texture as you create a fabric collage in this workshop with Nichole Vogelsinger of Wild Boho.

From choosing fabrics to discovering how to turn them into elements that can be collaged to learning the embroidery stitches that will pull everything together into a cohesive work of art, this class will handle all of that and everything in between!

Your imagination is the only limit to what you can create with a few key skills. Enjoy this fresh take on embroidery that will have you bending the rules so that you can create a work of art that is all your own. Nichole also has a new book out this spring, Boho Embroidery: The Pattern Collection – reserve your copy when you sign-up.
