Description: Ok, get those old washboards out, there are sheets to hang! This "Three Sheets in the Wind" workshop will teach you the basic skills of wool appliqué with freezer paper and show you the tools to help make the process easy. If you know how to thread a needle and do a few simple stitches this is a project for you!

You will learn how to make the right choices of wools for the proper appliqué usage, plus some tricks of the trade. While most wool applique only uses simple stitches to attach the motifs, not throughout the piece, Susan will show you how to create shadows, movement, and details with a thread and needle --- like painting a picture with wool and cotton. Susan will also demonstrate how to attach your completed project to a washboard.

Come try this easy and forgiving art form with Susan and her method of appliqué!

Level:  Basic – students must have basic hand sewing knowledge & experience. No prior wool appliqué knowledge or experience required.
