For the Love of Detail Workshops
 
For the Love of Detail - Needle Felting
9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
 
Learn the tools, techniques and fun of embellishing with a little roving and a sharp needle. Create two-dimensional designs to be used on any felted project: polka dots, flowers, and other whimsical shapes. This is a great embellishing technique for felted slippers and mittens!
 
Home work
  Bring to class a 6x6-inch felted swatch
 
Supplies Required
  Needle felting kit (foam pad & various felting needles)
  Knit & felt a swatch
  Wool roving
  Yarn scraps in coordinating colors for creating a flower and leaf motif.
 
 
For the Love of Detail - Embroidery
1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
 
Embroidery is a great addition to any needle felting and appliqueing project! At the end of this workshop, you'll know how to embroider four basic stitches: blanket stitch, feather stitch, chain stitch and French knots. You will create a sampler using wool yarns and DMC floss.
 
Homework
  Bring to class a 6x6-inch felted swatch
 
Supplies Required
  Knit & felt a swatch
  Chenille needles
  Two-three skeins of DMC cotton floss
  If students are taking the needle felting class beforehand, they may want to select colors that would work with their needle felted flowers.
