Workshop: Sunflowers

• Duration: 1 full day
• Level: All levels
• Project size: 20.5"x 20.5" (9.5" circle)

Like a ring of sunshine, these dimensional wired ribbon sunflowers beckon us with the promise of summer. You’ll learn the basics of needle-turn appliqué as you create the stem and leaves.
You'll learn how to make a template for your pattern and how to choose fabrics effectively for creating highlights and shadow.
Next come the sunflowers themselves and you'll be delighted to discover how easily the shaded wired ribbon can be shaped into a ring of petals. So simple -- but such a beautiful result.
The flowers are finished by creating centres filled with coloured seed beads. Finally, you will learn to set your creation into a reverse appliquéd border.
