Abstract Applique

Unique appliquéd abstract artwork.

Using felt
Shapes and embroidery thread create a contemporary

Plan out your
Design with guidance and examples from tutor
Bonita, cut your abstract shapes from felt, hand sew them to a felt or cotton
Backing to form your textile wall art and embellish with embroidery.

You’ll

Embroidery stitch sheets to continue your applique journey long after the
