Wacky Bird
Hand Piecing Class
Hand stitching a wacky bird is bound to make you laugh!
We’ll use take-away applique for pattern placement (no markings on the background or transparent overlays), making the multi-pieced bird fit together with ease.  Tips will be given for needle-turning and perfecting sharp points, inside curves, rounded corners, and smooth edges. Embroidery will help define the bird from the background.

Art Tote
Using a simple pattern that can be seen as a canvas for painting, collage or piecing called "The Art Tote",  students will construct a bag.  This class can also include any of the other bags designed by epb.  Those patterns as well as "The Art Tote" are available through quilt shops or on line at www.epbdolls.com.  The Art Tote pattern requirement list varies with the student choices of treatment for the 5/8yd "canvas" part of the bag.  To create a painted surface use stabilized fabric by Jacquard (available at www.epbdolls.com
),  For a pieced surface bring selected fabrics to piece or "orphan blocks",  for collage bring a selection of fabrics, trims and buttons and beads.  The remaining requirements are on the pattern for the tote.  The other bags of elinor's design have the materials list on the back of the pattern.  Machine required

Learn to create beautiful 3-dimensional Brazilian Embroidery.  Use a variety of rayon threads to add stunning color to this piece, which features a cast-on flower, miniature roses, leaves, five-petal daisy and bead flowers.  Students will learn the history and basic stitches of Brazilian Embroidery (stem stitch, couching stitch, French knots, straight stitch, bullions and cast-on).  Students will then proceed into double cast-ons and making tight bullions so they won’t twist for the miniature roses.  Technical aspects of the stitches will be explained and demonstrated with tips and tricks shared with students.
