Calico Gardens embroidery is stitched in tones and shades of one or a few closely matched neutral colours, with subtle enhancements using different threads and stitches to create lots of texture and 3D effects. Beginners and experienced embroiderers all welcome. You can choose to work either on a Calico Garden Sampler to frame once finished, or bring your own project to work on in company with the benefit of Angie’s extensive knowledge and technical expertise. The first of two courses running back-to-back. See also Calico Gardens, 5-7 July.
