JANE MACDONALD WORKSHOP

PLAYING WITH TAUPES – SECRET GARDEN

SATURDAY & SUNDAY 29 & 30 NOVEMBER 2014

Jane will introduce you to the wonderful world of Japanese Taupes,their history, how to use them effectively and much more. 

As part of the workshop, you will begin Jane’s beautiful wall hanging ‘Secret Garden’ which involves playing with taupe fabrics.  Learn how to achieve that subtle and sophisticated “look” of Japanese Taupe quilts.

In constructing the wall hanging you will use needle turn applique techniques, learn how to make three dimensional butterflies and how to embellish the quilt with embroidery stitches.

You could even use it as a central design for that Japanese taupe quilt you have been longing to start.

Jane is the owner of BeBe Bold in Lismore. She lives and breathes all things Japanese.  This is her first time teaching at Quiltsmith and we are soooo excited about having her.

Please call the shop on 02 9550 4947 for details and to book.
