This trio of botanical panels is based on the book of hours, Les Grandes Heures d'Anne de Bretange, which was commissioned by Anne of Brittany, Queen of France, and illuminated by Jean Bourdichon between 1503 and 1508.  The Renaissance styled illustrations throughout the book are typically of one plant.  We combined several of the designs to create each of our wool applique panels, including several flowers and a few critters, as well.  In this class you will be able to choose which panel you wish to work on, but we will cover the skills and embroidery stitches for all three blocks, including several techniques for adding dimension to your work.  Your class enrollment will include the panel of your choice and some 4mm silk ribbon.  You will have the option to purchase the other two patterns, as well as thread kits and wool kits, if desired.  The thread and wool kits will be sufficient to create all three blocks.
