Its spring and love is in the air at Hillside Cottage, there is blossom on the trees, the bees are busy making honey, the birds are thinking of nesting and there are flowers everywhere. Whether you are making Spring at Hillside Cottage into a cushion or you have collected all four patterns and are making the Four Seasons at Hillside Cottage wall hanging this clever combination of appliqué and stitchery is sure to delight.

Welcoming Lynette back to Cowslip to run this workshop on a Spring Cushion design from one of a set of 4 seasonal cushions.  Lynette is going to rework a new version of this in her new fabrics especially for Cowslip and this class.
 
During the workshop we will focus on doing needle turn applique using a simple technique that Lynette learnt over 30 years ago and a new applique technique that uses the amazing Apliquick tools.  
 
All students will receive a copy of the Spring Cushion pattern to take home to complete the project.
