This workshop is all about learning to make a simple stitched map of a place that is special to you –

WHERE YOU LIVE. To make this map, you will use of simple hand & machine stitches combined with

silk organza, opaque fabric, and a bit of paint. The goal is to create a small fiber art map that is light

an 8” x 8” to 11” x 11”.  Also covered, will be how to use the internet to find maps that will serve as your starting point. As we

go along, you will see the potential of variations on the techniques I will teach you. This workshop

may inspire you to make a collection of personal stitched maps. Really, the possibilities are almost

endless. Upon completion, you should have a lovely little work of stitched art.

Important Note:

• Because this class will require students to have a map of their chosen favorite place on hand, some pre-planning and

communication with each student will be required so that each person brings a map that can be used in this workshop.

• It will be important to email the instructor your prospective maps about 2 weeks before the workshop so that she can help

you make choices. Her email address is valeriegoodwin@comcast.net
