Digitised Embroidery Workshops 2025 with Kathleen Laurel Sage
Have you just bought yourself an embroidery machine? Have you already got a machine but are intimidated or unsure of how to use it? Then come and join a workshop with Kathleen Laurel Sage.
These workshops are designed to enable you to get to grips with the basics of your embroidery machine. Kathleen provides a design (you will need a USB stick to transfer the design). Recent classes have included a miniature heirloom bear, Christmas ornaments, an Autumnal wreath, a bag and a design on a garment.
Should you wish, you will then use your machine to amend the design, layout, colour, words, size etc. When you have finalised the design, you will be ready to stitch.
Load your hoop with stabiliser and fabric, attach the hoop to your machine and away you go.
These workshops will be £52 per day. Alternatively, you can attend all 6 of the 2025 workshops for £270 (£45 per session) or 3 for £147 (£49 per session). If you book 3 online, please tell us on checkout which 3 dates you would like to attend.
Friday 14 March 2025 - Giving Baskets
Embroider these adorable baskets and delight a friend by giving them a beautiful, embroidered gift. Fill with sweets and little chocolate eggs and give as an Easter present, or perhaps fill with something special as a birthday present throughout the year.
Friday 11 April 2025 - Sassy Sample Quilt
Flip and fold embroidered blocks that will create a stunning collection of colourful blocks to piece together into a small lap quilt or large bed quilt. With 12 blocks to choose from you will be shown how to stitch out several blocks in class and then complete the remaining ones at home. Collect a colour palette of fabrics to show off you favourite colour scheme and let the machine work its magic in this easy way to create a stunning quilt.
Friday 27 June 2025 - Family Tree
On this workshop you will embroider a family tree. You will use your machine to add the names of your nearest and dearest family between the leaves of the tree and create a record of your family history in stunning colours to treasure for years to come.
Friday 25 July 2025 - Quick Quaint Quilted Blocks
At this workshop you will embroider on plain white blocks or use white thread on navy Sashiko blocks to create stunning patterns in relief. You can then place these between the quilt blocks you made at the workshop on Friday 11 April 2025 or make yourself another quilt because of course, you can never have too many. There are 12 blocks to choose from. Lace and delicate embroidery designs will be added to give an heirloom heritage effect or perhaps choose navy, black or brightly coloured fabrics to compile a contemporary colourful twist to traditional embroidery and quilting.
Friday 26 September 2025 - Crazy Crafted Cushions (or bags)
Create a unique fabric using flip and stitch techniques along with top stitched embroidery images and edging stitches to make a sturdy colourful fabric to make a stylish striking cushion for your home.
