Meeting Programs
May Meeting Program
Monday, May 6 and Tuesday, May 7
Flower Pounding on Fabric
Led by Romaine
Explore creating a flower background to enhance with embroidery. We will use fresh flowers and leaves to pound a design onto a 12" square of fabric that has been pretreated with a mordant (dye fixative). Some fresh flowers and leaves will be available, but additional foliage would be appreciated. The designs need to be allowed to dry before embroidery is added.
Cost of the pretreated fabric squares will be $1.00 each. Reserve your fabric square(s) by contacting Janice. Additional fabric will be available at the May meeting.
