Garden Scroll Stichery with Anne Kelly at French General in Los Angele

Garden Scroll Stitchery with Anne Kelly at French General

Saturday November 18, 2023 11 am – 3 pm PST

In this one-day workshop you will be designing and making a beautiful garden-

themed scroll using French General’s new collection ‘Chantilly’, and bits and pieces of antique French fabric and trim.

Anne has designed this original pattern for you being inspired by the

best of British and American gardens and plants. Your kit will include a

pattern, pieces of fabric and notions to make a textile collage which you can

start during the class and continue to embellish afterwards. The scroll will be

a treasured keepsake or a unique gift for a special person.

Techniques covered in the class include, fabric collage, embroidery and

embellishment.

All materials will be supplied for this workshop, but please bring any small special pieces you would like to include to personalize your scroll.

This workshop will take place at French General in Los Angeles - woohoo! Coffee and tea will be served in the morning and we will break at noon for a wonderful lunch featuring our classic French General chopped salad.

This workshop will be limited to 26 students.

French General is located at 2009 Riverside Drive, Los Angeles, California 90039
