Learn to weave on a floor loom. With instruction and hands on experience, you will perform each step of the process - winding a warp, dressing a loom, and weaving a cotton towel to take home and use for years to come.
Create your own one-of-a-kind wet felted wrap bracelet. This is a marvelous medium to then embroider, bead, or stitch on to further embellish your creation.

No weaving experience is necessary! You will be making a Rag Rug using recycled fabric. Many colors and designs of fabrics will be available for you to choose from. The looms are dressed and ready to go: all you need to do is bring your creative spirit and you will leave with a finished one-of-a-kind rug that you have designed and woven yourself. Your rug will be 24? wide and can be up to 45? long.

The goal of this course is to apply our basic embroidery skills to embellish a recycled piece of apparel. This could include any item of clothing, tea towels, pillowcases or any other item that could use a freshening-up. It is recommended that students have some experience with embroidery basics. Students should bring an item of clothing or other fabric item to embroider.
Combining the Accuquilt system with fusible wonder-under takes the fuss out of creating an applique design. Janet will have several dies for students to use to create an applique basic of your own design. This is a wonderful project to use those smaller pieces of cherished quilt "scraps" that you just can't part with!
