Floral Improv with the Tidewater Quilters, Part Two
In the second half of our Floral Improv class the students added stems and leaves to their compositions. First, we discussed how much each student wanted her foliage to show up. A little or a lot? This dictated her fabric choice. You’ll see very different preferences in these photos. (These photos were all taken at the end of our six hour class.)
Linda chose low contrast leaves and stems
Finally, the students learned how to add definition to their poppies with contrasting stitching. It makes a huge difference!
With 17 students, this class was almost full. That gave us plenty of energy, but we still covered A LOT of ground! I had a wonderful day with these ladies!
