Embellishment Techniques For Distinctive Garments & Quilts
A class in good design principles

What's the secret behind good design? Good design is something you can learn. Gain confidence in your own creative ability.

Theory and Practice Theory:
What makes a beautiful and exciting design? A balanced, interesting piece? Something with a focal point? Does the definition of good design change from project to project? Start with an informative session on the elements of design and how they are used to create innovative works. Next, discover what works in a series of exercises exploring the concepts of good design and develop your own style of composition. Practice: Now that you know, how do you do it? In the afternoon, you'll expand your personal interpretation of good design while working with a variety of embellishment media. Learn short-cuts to dyeing, stenciling, adding bling, utilizing metallic threads, stamping and more. After exploring your own version of good design, you'll finish by designing your own yard of fabric. Bella, bella, bella!

Testimonials
"I want to sincerely thank you for an inspiring weekend. Inspiration is one thing but entertainment and laughs is another. And I had just that! I so enjoyed everything. Phoenix is better off because of you. Those that did not attend the weekend will be sorry for the rest of us will rub it in!. Now to decide which inspiration to try. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Leslie Morris	I remember the exact moment I first found your website and it did it to me then, big time. it was a profound turning point in my sewing life. It made me come alive again. I was so impressed with your designs being such that they could become part of a garment, and not just something you put ON the garment. I remember thinking, finally, designs can be translated into mature creations.. And then when I attended your class - I learned even more how to actually enhance my clothing. Jo Cheryl Holcomb
Bobbi, I was in one of your seminars this weekend and just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed and learned from it. I've visited your website Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity. Sincerely, Donna Smith	Dear Bobbi: I took your class at the Novi show and was very inspired. You just did a wonderful job there and I hope you return. I have avoided doing too much embroidering on clothes because I just did not want that single design "out there." I am now looking at my embroidery collection of designs in an entirely different way. I also have many of the patterns you showcased (independent companies) and see that all I need is the time and inspiration! Thanks again--in fact, many thanks. Marian Faupel
Hi Bobbi, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you at the Novi Expo this weekend and attended several of your talks. Your easy manner and humor made the "education" a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Your designs are lovely. Sue Douglass	Thanks so much. I took a class from Bobbi last week at the MEEC, and she really inspired me to stretch a bit with my sewing. GREAT trunk show - I really enjoyed it. Barbara Minor
Hi Bobbi, I met you in Boca and you are absolutely delightful. I purchased several of your design sets and stitched out Summer Boxes yesterday and just had to tell you how pleased I was. You did a beautiful job digitizing and it made it such a pleasure to sew them out. Hoping to see you again at another retreat. Jean Pearl	Hi Bobbi, Thank you so much for coming to speak at our Detroit ASG meeting. Your presentation was delightful. I took one of your classes in 2004 at the Novi Expo and was thrilled you were able to visit us. I look forward to uses your stamps and being inspired by your creativity. Thank You, Mary Ann
