May 9 - Fiber on a Whim Mother/Daughter Duo- Kristen and Jan - Lecture 7 pm
We love experimenting with paints, dyes, and other surface design techniques. We also love creating a 3D piece of artwork with embellishments. Our view is that any object not bolted down or already attached to something else can be used to create dimension, whether by stamping, creating a silk screen, embellishment or more. Our main
mission is that we hope to inspire you to try these new surface design and embellishing techniques or simply to expound on your current use. Providing excellent customer service while doing this is a high priority. We hope to bring a smile to your day through the website or through use of our products. As everyone knows, we take life way too seriously, this is no dress rehearsal. So have fun and enjoy yourself!

The 2 for 1 Hula Lessons Kit 3 hour class format. $25 The kit contains: 1 Hula Hoop - fabric dyed in the “Hula-Hoop” style radiates color from the center out, and from this piece you’ll cut your design. Because it is a "2 for 1" project the kit has 2 patterns, Palm Beach and Hula Flower. It has four 8 X 9 inch sheets of Shades SoftFuse, just enough to do the project one time.
It also has 2 squares of black or 2 squares of white Kona cotton to use as background for the appliqué (20 inch sq. & pre-washed!) It is a kind of "Modular" kit. Choose your favorite color Hula Hoop, pick the design you want to cut from the two options, then decide if your want a black background or a white background.
Learn some great machine appliqué methods as you complete the sewing and assembly of this gorgeous project in almost no time at all. If you’re quick enough, there might be hula lessons after all! Bring SHARP SMALL scissors for cutting the appliqué.
