Floral Improv in Bradenton

I recently taught “Floral Improv” in Bradenton, FL.  With only five students in the class, everyone got lots of attention and made good progress.

Mary was able to complete all of her quilting in class.

Check out her fabulous results, in-progress below.

See how much the quilting adds to it, below?

Carol used her own hand dyed fabrics for the flowers and they were so lovely together.

Darlene was all smiles after fusing her piece.  She’ll finish up with some more stitching later.

KK was inspired by some baby zinnias and even brought them to class as her models.  Because they have more petals than the daisies we were making she had a LOT more cutting to do! But, she worked hard and had all her flowers in place by the end of class. They look great, don’t they?

Ellen was even more adventurous. She brought photos of Japanese Ti Plants as her inspiration.

Here, the building cat came to “help”her, while Mary took photos in the background. It didn’t take us long to decide that we didn’t actually need feline assistance.

And here’s Ellen’s work part-way through class. Very dramatic, right? The colors really pop against the black.

As always, it was a fun class.  Everyone enjoyed it, including me!

I’d love to come teach it for your group.
