Embellishing Fairies
Posted By drsao on November 28, 2009
I had such a wonderful time in Catherine’s class at Quilting Adventure today. She is an excellent teacher and has a WEALTH of information. I learned so many NEW things and she is SO FUNNY too! I think we all left with a new appreciation for the art of embellishment!
Really, if you can, do take a class from Catherine sometime. I learned to apply crystals, do many different embroidery stitches, embroidery with ribbon, sew on beads and much more. I don’t know when I have had so much fun in a class.
Here are some of the highlights! I only WISH that it would show up SPARKLY because it really looks neat!
