Designing with ombre fabric can be a puzzle, but they are beautiful in Bargello. The light to dark tones gives your quilt a glow. In this class you will create the shape of the Bargello design. We will start with color placement then move on to stitching a start and finally cutting the tube. We will then focus on stitching your creation together. If you have an interest in using ombre fabrics to design your own Bargello, Then this is the class for you.

Unlike traditional machine embroidery applique where the design is secured with a satin stitch, raw edges of the pretty petals on this Flower Zipper Clutch are surrounded with whimsical outline stitches. The clutch is fully lined, plus Kimberbell makes installing a zipper remarkably easy in-the-hoop. Once you learn the basics of putting this project together, go home and make more choosing from three different sizes. Try combining different textiles like linen, wool, or even cork – add Batik or cotton fabric from your stash. Each petal can be done in a different textile; making this clutch an interesting conversation piece.
