Snappy Scrappy
Feeling a little sassy? Join us for a 'breaking the rules' fabric collage playful day. We will be raiding the
fabric stash, using a variety of quilting and upholstery remnants to create what we affectionately call "Snappy Scrappy".
Layers, textures, lace, ribbon, and jewelry, buttons, or beads combine to become your individualized Snappy Scrappy. Hand or machine stitch your choice pieces into a wall hanging, book cover or fabric frame for a photo. We
will have a few 'simple' sewing machines available, yarns and thread, an assortment of pre-fringed upholstery fabrics (thanks
Mom!) and background canvas for you, along with buttons, beads and other trinkets. You are encouraged to bring any materials
you wish to use and/or share. (Clean out your stash, well, within reason...) It isn't necessary to have a quilting or
fiber arts background, having a sense of color combinations and design will be helpful. A playful attitude is greatly desired.
3 - 4 hours $15 materials

Eco Printing
What better place to be inspired to do Eco Printing than surrounded by nature
here at Whispering Woodlands. It is a process I can fully relate to, needing to apply patience waiting for the magic to happen,
and looking forward to the surprises that delight when untying the bundles. It really is hard to beat nature's ability
to create beauty simply. The suttle nature of the prints speaks volumns. It requires a little chemistry, bundling leaves, a
slow cooking and time. Two 3 hour sessions $7 materials
