I'm busy preparing lots of samples for my class this summer at Missenden Abbey- all about bead embroidery.

The class will cover all the basics of bead embroidery and students will create a unique sampler to take home and use as a reference for all their future projects. Then we'll move onto creating two different projects- and more if people want to stay up late every night!

Missenden Abbey is a lovely place to learn and immerse yourself in studying. With great food and gorgeous grounds you can feel a World away from home and amongst friends with the same interest.

As part of my preparation I have ordered lots of gorgeous Ultrasuede and as my mind is full of grey at the moment I made sure to order 2 different 'greyish' colours- steel grey and gun metal. I can't wait to use them.
