Event Details
As winter approaches, leaves begin to decompose revealing a lacy skeleton which can be easily depicted through use of free-motion machinery embroidery on water-soluble materials. while Autumn provides endless subject and motif possibilities, fruits, trees, nuts to name a few, I‘ve chosen in this course to use leaves as a motive. Leaves come in many different shapes and can be adapted to suit quilters of all levels. We‘ll begin by making leaves with simple outlines, then create more complex shapes with swirling colours and intricate veins network.
Margrét Óskarsdóttir has always been interested in handicrafts, especially knitting and textiles. Quilting is a more recent passion, especially non-traditional patchwork, quilting & making leaves freehand with her sewing machine. She has studied many courses in quilting, weaving and knitting and design, and has designed for the knitting magazine “Lopi og Band”.
