Layering & Embellishing on Wool at Our February Meeting

In preparation for our February meeting, and in addition to our regular show and tell and general meeting, those who would like to can learn or brush up on:

Layering and Embellishing on Wool

Class Description:
Learn Sue Spargo's Techniques of Layering using wool, other fabrics, and stitches on wool.  

I will have wool kits available to purchase for $15.00 for anyone who wants to participate.  I can accept credit cards (will need to add a small cc fee), checks and cash, and will have lots of change, so do not worry about having exact change!

Each kit includes:
6" square of felted wool (not to be confused with craft felt.  Felted wool is supple and lovely to stitch through.)
One Large Wool Pre-Cut circle 4"-5" 
The option to choose one to three 1.5" - 3.5" Pre-Cut Wool circles
The option to choose from 1/4" - 1" Pre-Cut Wool Circles
Wool thread to whipstitch your circles onto the base square
#8 Perle Cotton to practice stitches (not pictured below, but will have plenty for everyone to use during our time together.) 
1 - Size 24 Chenille Needle
1 - Size 3 Milliners Needle (for Bullion Stitches)



If anyone prefers to bring their own wool, that's fine too, but please be sure the wool is felted wool and NOT Craft's Felt.  Also bring another smaller piece of wool in a contrasting color to whip stitch onto the main piece.  I can go over using other materials as well if people want, but otherwise will go over stitches we can then apply to our pieces.  

In addition, I will bring a number of pieces in to show what can be done using these techniques.  

Really excited, and I hope some of you will be interested in joining me!
