I’m home from the Ballarat branch of the Victorian embroiderers’ guild’s Autumn Leaves Seminar, and I’m very tired!<\/p>\n
The class was a great success, with all the students learning a lot and very happy. We spent two days working on learning the stitches for the Mountmellick wildflower cushion, and the students also made a start on the cushion itself. We had a lot of fun with lots of laughs and story telling. Because the class was not a counted embroidery class, it didn’t require *quite*\tthe same level of concentration as counting does, although I’m sure the students will tell you they went home with very full and overloaded brains!<\/p>\n
There were quite a few other classes on at the same time, with Effie Mitrofanis, Alison Snepp, Christine Bishop, Alison Cole, Sally Darlison and probably others. (I’m so tired, I’ve probably forgotten someone really obvious, for which I apologise.) There were also many happy students enjoying the challenges of learning new projects and new techniques.<\/p>\n
I always get home from these things and wish I’d taken some photos to share with you, but I’m always so focused on the class and the students that I never think of it at the time! Maybe one day I will!<\/p>\n
Thank you to those who organised our stay, cooked delicious food, drove us around and picked us up. It was a very successful seminar, and while I’m already home, it continues with other classes and tutors on Saturday and Sunday. Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
