Painted, stitched flowers

Make a beautiful, fun, appliqued flower panel out of hand-painted fabrics. We'll create a rich palate of patterned fabrics using paints and stamps, then cut, layer, and collage these into flowers by stitching them onto a painted background. The panels can be used to make quilts, pillows, book-covers, etc. Some experience with applique is preferred.
