  • Bluff Strokes Art Center 1201 Locust Street Dubuque, IA, 52001 United States (map)

Instructor: Candace Eudaley-Loebach

Level: Beginners and up

Ages: Middle School and up

$30

Candace Eudaley-Loebach will teach you to embroider a prairie bloom and apply it to a piece of wearable art that you can enjoy year-round! Students are encouraged to explore the coneflower shape provided or create their own whimsical version of the flower through their color selection.

You will learn and practice a straight stitch, stem stitch, cross stitch, lazy daisy, and french knots with an instructor-designed prairie bloom sampler. Students will learn how to finish the piece and install it onto a backing piece to create either a necklace, a keychain or a brooch.

Register for the August 1 workshop, as well, to have the opportunity to create a set of earrings during the second workshop.

Eudaley-Loebach created the sampler and final coneflower design specifically for this class.

Sampler includes:

  • Straight stitch;

  • Stem stitch;

  • Cross stitch;

  • Lazy daisy, and;

  • French knots.
