I spent a really enjoyable morning today following a workshop delivered by Nikki Parmenter. It has rekindled my love of free machine embroidery. I must say that it has been difficult to motivate myself over recent weeks but Nikki changed that for me today. I feel, and this may sound stupid, energised. I love the way that brightly coloured snippets can turn into a super background on which to sew. I look forward to part 2 of the workshop at next month’s meeting. Thanks Nikki
