          Embroidery Club March 2024


Welcome to Embroidery Club 2024! I am very excited that you will be joining me on this exciting embroidery adventure. My goals for the club are that you will increase your knowledge of machine embroidery and experiment with new kinds of projects this year. It is going to be a fun year.

In Embroidery Club this month we will be making the “Fresh Poppies” wall hanging.  Students will learn how to successfully complete a tiling scene and embroider with a raw edge applique method. In class you will have time to make about 4 blocks. There will be homework needed to complete the project. Fabric kits are available for this project. Please see the pre-class prep work listed below.
