I started off by showing them a slideshow of photos that I took when in Guimar\u00e3es. The photos gave the students a feel for the town itself. They saw some historical examples from a museum, and contemporary examples that are still made for sale in the town. I showed the photos again yesterday afternoon, and one lady commented on how different it was seeing them for a second time, after she had now spent a weekend working on the technique. She said she was seeing completely different things, because now she had so much more understanding of the technique.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the ladies made extremely fast progress through the project, so on the Saturday night I quickly added an extra border of sham hem stitch to the project, to give them something extra to work on on the Sunday. It was a very popular move, as many of the students commented how pretty the border was, and they enjoyed learning the &#8220;bonus&#8221; bit!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coffs-harbour-class.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coffs-harbour-class.jpg\" alt=\"Coffs Harbour class\" title=\"coffs-harbour-class\" width=\"350\" height=\"187\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5324\" srcset=\"http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coffs-harbour-class.jpg 350w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coffs-harbour-class-300x160.jpg 300w, http:\/\/vettycreations.com.au\/white-threads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/coffs-harbour-class-150x80.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I felt very welcome, and very at home.
