Wildflower Meadow – Caroline Zoob

Wildflower meadows are one of my favourite themes. Using mostly hand embroidery, with machine embroidery for those who would like to experiment with this, you will create a wild flower meadow filled with different grasses and flowers, with butterflies and insects hovering above. A piece you can make into a picture or lavender cushion. This is one of my workshops suitable for beginners  – you will be surprised at what you can achieve having never embroidered before. More advanced embroiders will get further ahead and may like to try machine embroidery as well.

Those of you familiar with Caroline’s workshops will know that she brings with her a generous selection of precious vintage textiles to use in the workshops, and makes her collection of vintage and new threads for both machine and hand stitching available to all at a cost of £5 payable to Caroline on the day. You may of course bring and use your own materials if you prefer.
