I attended Bella’s wonderful embroidery workshop which I found to be one of the best workshops on embroidery that I've attended – it far exceeded my expectations. There were lots of demos, one to one support and feedback. I learnt so much on the day. There was a lot of thought and care taken to put together the high-quality kit and instructions.
