Kantha Workshop and Bayeaux Stitch

Hi Everyone,



Well the embroidery guilds stitchery workshop was an eye opener. Soooooo simple to do yet so effective.



Carolyne Sullivan taught us how to embellish silk using folk art paints and crayola fabric crayons and then turn our artwork into artquilts by using Kantha Stitch to "quilt" layers and create movement behind the designs. Amazingly simple.!!!!!! Amazingly effective!!!!



On the Sunday Carolyne taught Bayeaux Stitch and once again showed us that the simple techniques can give us some of the most effective artworks......



A wonderful weekend has had by all. Thankyou to the Narrabri Embroidery Guild for making it possible.
