So yesterday I attended a class with Vicki Mansfield with the Leamington Embroiderers Guild . She is an amazing embroiderer and had wowed us the previous evening with examples of her work. Now, I'm not great at formal stitching - I'm much more laissez faire in my approach, so I knew this was going to be a real challenge. And boy was it a challenge. So this is what we were aiming for: And this is how it progressed throughout the day It was tough and I've never attended a class that was sooooo quiet! All that concentration. Although I did find it hard I was pleased to have tried something very different, which is the whole point of joining the guild.
