About

Embrace the rich texture and durability of wool! If you've never done a wool piece — a wall hanging or quilt, for example — with wool fabric, you're in for a treat. This class will cover:

  • An easy-to-learn method that turns out beautiful artwork with no sewing machine needed.
  • Easy embroidery stitches.
  • A new way to do appliqué quilting. 

Relax and enjoy working with others to complete your project. You can continue to make a larger, unique, one-of-a-kind wall hanging. This is the first of a series of classes that will be offered by Cleo, who will lead you into the colourful world of Wool Quilting.
