Learn two wonderful hand work techniques in this Wings of Freedom Wall Hanging Workshop with Dianne Sheppard. Dianne is our resident hand applique expert and will teach you all the necessary skills to create the eagle medallion in this wall hanging using wool applique and embroidery. This is an all-inclusive class; pattern, kit and supplies included; just sign up and show up for class!

The Wings of Freedom wall hanging using the American Gatherings III mini-charm pack finishes at 12-1/2" x 15".

Dianne will guide you through tracing your wool applique shapes and cutting them out. She will show you how to trace the design onto the fabric square. You will then learn how to hand applique the wool pieces in place using size 12 perle cotton. Once you've mastered your wool applique technique, she will show you how to do the embroidery for the arrows and lettering.  

You won't finish the wall hanging in class, but you'll receive enough instruction and all the materials necessary to finish it at home. You will need a sewing machine at home to piece the mini charm squares for the top and for finishing the wall hanging.

The class fee includes:
 - 3 hours of excellent instruction from Dianne
 - Wings of Freedom - Project Sheet, fabric for the top (including wool), mini-charm pack, backing fabric, batting, and binding.
 - Fusible web for the appliques
 - Chenille needle pack
