Special Wool Class -Meetinghouse Hill Designs - October 13
Dimensional Wool Crafting at Its Finest!
"Winter's Woodland Gifts"
Saturday, October 13
at Karen's Quilting Corner!
Designer Kathy Gaul returns to her native New England to teach one of her best selling new designs - an evergreen, pine cone and berry spray that will last for many winters because it is all made from felted wool, wire and hot glue!
We are excited to feature this designer in our shop. Kathy was recently named one of Early American Life's "traditional artisans" for her efforts in continuing the historical art of wool applique, with her own unique dimensional twist!
Join us for a day of fun and laughter, and NO SEWING, just crafting with wool!
