Folding Circles...A Floral FascinationFrom six circles create a 12” multi petalled design. Simple in essence but has great potential for experimental play. See how this novel and unusual concept can be expanded and developed in many ways for use in quilts, wall hangings, accessories and home decor. Embellish and embroider by hand or machine for added creativity. Suitable for every ability, it’s fabric fiddling for all. A uniquely different technique from Jennie’s latest book ‘Material Magic’.

In this class you will learn and understand the technique and be able to complete the design after class.
