403: Welcome Through the Seasons by Pat Armour
Create this lovely crewel piece to “welcome” guests into your home. The background of realistic and fanciful botanicals follows the four seasons behind the flowing lettering. Pine branches for winter, daffodils for spring, goldenrod for summer and coneflowers for the fall are just some of the plants. Thirty colours of Appleton crewel wool are worked on a ground of white linen twill.
A perfect piece for confident beginners to crewel and those looking for a sampler of surface stitches.

404: Cloth to Codex-Mixed Media with Books & Scrolls by Susan Purney Mark
In this workshop, students will create one or more books, folios or scrolls using various surface designs and stitch techniques. Students will experiment with paints and inks, stencilling, altering and adding to different surfaces, and combining paper and fabrics to create foundations for more marks, stitches and colour. Students can also eliminate areas by cutting back and opening pages and turning them into windows, creating alternative shapes and unusual books or scrolls.
Each student will explore their ideas and create a unique piece.
Technique: Mixed Media/Colour & Design :: Skill Level: All Levels :: Pre-Work: None :: Size: 8”x 8” – 3-D :: Kit Costs: $25
