Empty spools workshop 2026

Feathered Friends

 

In this workshop we’ll create realistic birds using raw edge appliqué and detailed threadwork.  We’ll also explore and stitch the different components of their environment.  Since these details are made independently of each other you have the option of reproducing one of the designs or choosing different components to arrange in an original composition. You may like to make an owl sitting on a split rail fence, or nesting in the hollow of a tree or a songbird perched on a mossy  branch. We’ll cover stitching the intricate features of the bird and the elements of their environment such as weathered wood, bark, moss and other flora that will enhance its surroundings. ​

Workshop choices are below and are separated by smaller projects that could be completed within the workshop timeframe. More in-depth projects will require additional time at home to complete, but each component will be started in class. You may also mix and match different elements.
