Such a wonderful day. Absolutely loved it and learned loads can’t wait for the next course. X
Had a wonderful day, learnt so much. Jo and Nick were great, everyone was very enthusiastic and friendly. Food and venue was great. Definitely recommend this beginners course if you’re new to embroidery or your skills are a bit rusty. Plenty of kits to buy at the course.
Hi Lynne, thank you for the review. Very pleased you enjoyed your day we did too. it was fun wasn't it.
