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 is recommended for this intermediate-level class; advanced beginners welcome.
