Bead It Like You Mean It
2pm to 5pm
NOTE: This is a 3 hour Zoom following the morning meeting.
Add beads of all shapes and sizes to your quilts and wearable art, easily and after you are done quilting. Here’s the prize: no knots or mess on the back! Learn to embellish in a way that adds to the overall design instead of looking like an afterthought.
Students will create a small fabric flower collage on batting and learn different beading techniques such as solid line bead embroidery, attaching bugle beads, and creating a beaded bezel used to attach a cabochon to the fabric’s surface.
To enroll in theses classes go to the Programs 2022 page by clicking here.
