G. UNDER THE SEA

G. UNDER THE SEA... intermediate to advanced

2 DAYS to 4 DAYS

Some of the most beautiful sights are under the sea. Crazy quilting, silk ribbon embroidery, watercolour paints, pigma pens, Victorian embroidery, beadwork and collage can create coral, seaweed and fish - free-form embroidery at its most creative. See pg.137 Elegant Stitches for ideas. A seabed pattern is substituted for the center with a crazy quilt surround. The finished size is 11.50" wide x12.50"
