~ Filling my Heart ~ First Class of 2020! ~

 Hello Friends & Folk!

...this New Year brings with it an excitement
 for fresh, fun & folky class projects!

I have been revisiting antique and vintage embellished hearts on Pinterest
using their beautiful inspiration to create something 'new' for me to do!

I'm going to make my very own "Folk Heart"!

using my threads, trims, beads, charms, ribbons...
silk & satin ~ wool & velvet
even photos & trinkets of all kinds can be added to a "Folk Heart" 
{as I like to call them}

... initials of friends and loved ones,
& dates of significance can be included to personalize a Folk Heart.

... even the more contemporary 'Folk Hearts' made by present-day makers,
tug at my own heartstrings and beg me to create one just for me...

SO ~ with my excitement in beginning this New Year,
I will be holding the first class of 2020
here at the Studio at Notforgotten Farm:

"Folk Heart" Embellishing Class
 Saturday, February 8th 2020
10:00 - 4:00
Class Fee: $28.00 per student

• Students will be supplied with a pre-sewn and stuffed white linen heart approx 10" x  7"
to use as the project base.

• Scraps of assorted fabrics will be offered at time of class 
courtesy of NFF for each Student

• Students will need to bring:
 their own embellishments for their own personal Folk Heart project, such as but not limited to: threads/trims/beads/charms/photos/ribbon ~ Use your imagination and enjoy the treasure hunt finding your own personal items to add to your project!
~ Students will also need to bring scissors to class.

*Kindly Note*
~  this class is 'unstructured' as far as any set pattern is concerned.
you will simply glean from your imagination and own supplies to create your Folk Heart.
This is NOT a make & take class, it will simply be "finished" 
 when you choose to finish embellishing it ♥

I will be and am always happy to share embroidery stitches, 
project placement suggestions, etc if you need me too!

PHOTO of My FOLK HEART coming soon!!!!!

Blessings from the Farm
