Floral Wonders, A New Approach (Video Download)

Enjoy an hour creating mixed-media floral quilts with a variety of trims, silks, velvets, wools, laces, and specialty yarns. To dress up the flowers we will learn how to use Angelina® Fibers, tulle, Shiva® Paintstiks®, Lumiere® metallic paints, and Jacquard® Antique Gold powder. This is a wonderful way to have fun with all your fibers, including antique ones, that you have hidden away in your drawers.
