SUMMARY:Embroidered and Appliquéd Pillow with Natalie Norman
DESCRIPTION:Join a short course where we will combine embroidery with appliqué to finish a small decorative pillow top.  Choose from 1 of 3 apron designs\, each displaying a fabric from the Dalarna area. \n\nIt is said that “clothing is to clothe someone\, but a costume tells a story.”  While stitching our project\, we will learn some fun history of Swedish folk dress. \nSuggested age group:  12 years to adult. Youth 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult. \nMaterials fee of $20.00 includes:\n– 10×10” pillow form\n– Fabric for front and back of pillow\n– Trim for belt\n– Embroidery floss\n– 1 needle\n– Pattern \nNatalie Norman has been part of the cultural needlework community for over 20 years\, participating as a vendor\, demonstrator\, and teacher at venues such as Gammelgården Museum\, American Swedish Institute\, and Marine Mills Folk School. Sponsored by the Swedish Embassy in Washington\, DC\, her embroidered work was featured in a traveling exhibition that visited five major American cities and concluded with a 15-month tour in Stockholm\, Sweden. In 2019\, Natalie received a fellowship from the American Scandinavian Foundation to study a traditional form of folk art. Courses in fritt broderi at Sätergläntan in Dalarna and påsöm at the Mora Folk School have since deepened her embroidery practice and strengthened her desire to share this passion with others. \nThe registration link for this class will be posted in May. \nCancellation Policy: Up to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds.
