You’ll learn all the tips and tricks needed for making these beautiful gradients by practicing with a monarch butterfly pattern. By the end of this workshop, you'll have all the tools you need to create a beautiful piece of art that showcases the stunning possibilities of thread painting.

    All supplies, including full skeins of floss, a hoop, needles, printed fabric, and instructions, will be provided. Some stitching experience is recommended, but all levels are welcome.
