This creativity can be used in quilts, for a framed piece of art, home decor such as pillows, or a wonderful addition to a tote or bag. Using a piece of hand painted fabric with a floral Art Nouveau theme you will see how free motion stitching can change the simple painted piece of fabric into a new and exciting art piece. There is no wrong way. It is always serendipity and a wow experience. There will be 6 designs to choose from with several different color ways. You will be shown how to use your sewing machine to create line work around a painting that lacks any definition. You will create the definition with free motion stitching. Choosing your own thread colors and coordinating fabrics makes this class extra fun. I will discuss color and ideas to make your piece outstanding. If you have never done free motion stitching,this is a great way to get started and feel comfortable doing it. It really is fun and opens new doors to expand your creativity. Other painted floral pieces will be available if Art Nouveau is not for you.
