'Flowers in the Landscape' in stitched collage with Kay Leech

 Spend a creative day with Kay developing a fabric collage picture embellished with flowers.  With Kay's expert guidance you will create a layered background and flowers using water-soluble fabric and free-motion embroidery.  Your picture will be mounted on a stretched canvas frame.

 Previous experience of free-motion embroidery is not essential.  However, you do need to bring and be familiar with your sewing machine and the machine needs to have feed dogs that can be lowered and be equipped with a free-motion embroidery foot.
