AFLE

Over the past ten years I have taught many quilting, embroidery, beading and embellishment classes. More recently I have begun teaching the art of African Folklore Embroidery. I lecture and teach with passion and enthusiasm and love seeing how my students take African Folklore Embroidery to new levels.

The company, African Folklore Embroidery, owned by Leora Raikin, a native of South Africa, now living in the United States, was founded to bring the traditional arts of her homeland to needle workers in Northern America.

I am an independent contractor qualified to teach African Folklore Embroidery and lecture with designs produced and made by African Folklore Embroidery.

So, that’s how I do it. About 20 hours stitching, includes ribbon and beads. Too much fun?
