Beth Jones reviewed: Traditional and Contemporary - Fun Embroidery Workshop

"I really enjoyed my day learning embroidery. Constance was very lovely and took our opinions into account with what we wanted to achieve from the session. Really good value for money. I had no previous embroider experience (only very basic sewing) and I made two pieces - one with examples of 18 different stitches and another with a very basic tree scene. "

"Hi Beth, Thank you for your kind review. It was my pleasure to show you the techniques and I promise I will send you a link to the library record of all the stitches from around the World. Your work was extremely neat and I was impressed at how well you managed them. Two projects in a day! excellent. Kind regards, Constance."

"I had a fabulous day with Constance and was lucky to be the only one on the course so had 1:1 tuition. The venue was excellent, what a treat to travel through glorious South Shropshire.

I am absolutely thrilled with my outcomes and will be ordering a set of equipment so I can carry on learning at home. I can’t thank Constance enough for her time and expertise. We chatted as we worked, what a lovely lady. I thoroughly recommend this course and a huge thank you to Constance for a very special day."
