  • Norma Whaley WORKSHOP – Remember The Giver

    Calvary CRC 3500 Byron Center Ave, SW, Wyoming, MI, United States

    Remember The Giver This wall hanging is made, by stitching wool to a cotton background. I enjoy mixing these mediums, and it makes the expense more reasonable rather than working with wool. The backgrounds of the blocks are pieced... the more fabric the better, right? I love the interest this adds to the backgrounds with the blending of fabrics. In the class, I will share tips I've picked up along the way in working with wool. We will discuss the pros and cons of working with a fusible product or just using freezer paper. Students should feel free to do what they already love doing.
