The other day I was chatting with Christine Bennett, an embroidery teacher, who I know used to teach at another community college. I asked if she was still teaching there.

The classes are located in Epping. If you&#8217;d like to talk with Christine about the course content, she&#8217;s happy for me to pass on her mobile number. Just contact me for details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I occasionally get phone calls from people who would like to join any embroidery classes that I am teaching.
