Tree Panel - Supply List
The Tree Panel is best made in tones and shades of one colour - choose a colour scheme first.
You will need at least 10 or 12 fabrics for the background in shades of your chosen colour. This is an opportunity to use small "treasured" pieces. Choose from a variety of tones - some dark, some light and some medium.
Add to these at least 4 long quarters of "Tree" fabric to go on top - these can be fabrics with texture, batiks, hand-dyes etc
Thread:- 100% cotton thread in a neutral colour to go with your fabrics. Pretty thread for applique and quilting..
Sewing tools:- the usual pins, scissors, etc. You should have a rotary cutter, cutting mat, and a long (as opposed to square) quilter's ruler.
Sewing machine:- Nothing fancy, all you need is straight stitch and a standard foot. Please make sure that you bring the manual, put in a fresh needle, and wind a bobbin before you come.
If you have any problems with, or don't understand, any of the above, please contact me well in advance of the class.
£25 per person
