Spring Garden

Two day workshop - basic surface embroidery knowledge an asset

 Project size - 8" x 6"

The spring garden is probably the most delightful vision for the Canadian gardener. After a long winter it is wonderful to witness the profusion of colour that emerges from the ground.  This embroidered garden features some standard favourites; Siberian irises, tulips and daffodils nestle in front of  bleeding hearts while scattered in the foreground are dandelions and forget-me-nots. This class will teach the student how to use combinations of simple surface embroidery stitches to create each of the flowers in this dense garden. DMC flosses are used on Habotai silk.
