Do you have a project that's dragging along? Or a dream project that you can't seem to get started? Bring it to BARN and join us for a full day of creativity, community, and skill-building with Lisa Mortell! 

This workshop will support you at any phase of your wool-embellished quilt project. Whether you're stitching one of Lisa’s Blocks of the Month, a Sue Spargo Block of the Month, or working on a new or different design entirely, Lisa will be there to answer your questions and teach you new techniques. Here's what your day will look like:

• Morning: Guided activities designed to fine-tune and enhance your wool-embellished applique and embroidery techniques.
• Short break for lunch.
• Afternoon: Open-stitch time! Choose to keep practicing your new skills from the morning session or shift to working on the project you brought with you. This is your chance to get one-on-one support from Lisa.

Details

• Skill level: Everyone from absolute beginners who need help starting their first project to experienced stitchers looking for support with advanced techniques.
• These quarterly sessions (other sessions are set for May 21, Aug. 20, and Nov. 19) are held in BARN's Great Room, which is to the left as you enter the main doors.
• Bring snacks or a sack lunch for the short break between sessions. Food options near BARN are very limited. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.
• See Visit BARN for information on getting to BARN, local transportation, lodging, dining, and things to do.

Materials

• You are responsible for bringing your own materials:
• • A practice piece of wool.
  • Stitching threads, needles, thimbles, and scissors.
  • If working on a specific quilt, bring your pattern and all materials for that project.
