PROGRESSIVE EMBROIDERY PROJECT START WHEN YOU WISH
THE NEEDLEWOMEN'S COTTAGE
This beautiful free-standing embroidered cottage is a work of art on its own. It doubles as an exquisite workbox, holding all your embroidery necessities for your current project.

A sweet crinoline lady tends her garden outside her cottage. Turn the cottage round, and you will see her pretty front door, welcoming you to her home.
Simple embroidery stitches are used in this project, in combinations that make the finished piece look more difficult than it really is. Pattern includes iron-on transfers for the embroidery designs PLUS pattern for tracing the design if you wish to use that method.

Take the plunge and give yourself a project for the next few months and create an embroidered artwork that will give you pleasure for years to come.
Size: 18cm long x 10cm wide x 19cm high (7" x 4" x 7 1/2")
Workshop classes will be held at Village Fabrics each month for 6 months.

Kit Price $140.00

BALTIMORE

we are about to start this exquisite quilt as a block of the month AS A MAILOUT PROGRAMME AND WORKSHOP CLASSES AT VILLAGE FABRICS.
In our workshops, meeting ONCE A MONTH for half a day on Saturday afternoons, you will learn various methods while creating each block.

These techniques will include: * needle turn, * bias stems, * ruffled flowers, * padded flowers, * weaving on baskets, etc. These techniques are make an exceptional effect on some of the blocks, rather than a “flat” background all through. Our tutor, Fran, is one of the most competent and experienced needleworker’s I have met and I am sure with her tutorage and your time, you will leave your workshops with a very different Baltimore quilt.

In our quilt, we will use soft palettes of pinks, greens, blues, golds, beiges, lilacs, soft greys – all blending perfectly well. Each block measures approx. 14” plus sashings and borders. Just look at the beautiful top border and the sashings between the blocks – a true heirloom and treasure for your future. We will use a soft tone on tone ecru colour with small tone on tone patterns.
