Let your creativity flow as you slow stitch a fabric journal composed of your favorite embroidery stitches, embellishments, and fabric scraps. Draw inspiration from scrap stitching traditions such as American crazy quilts, Indian kantha, and Japanese boro. Build a repertoire of embroidery stitches combined with other textile-based elements. Allow each page to inspire the next. You produce a finished, bound fabric book with a personalized cover by the end of the class and can take the inspiration and skills you learn into other projects. Some experience with quilting or embroidery recommended for this intermediate-level class; advanced beginners welcome.
