Susan said… Hello Jill, You commented on my Japanese Embroidery - Kirigami - that is a phase 2 piece, not phase 1 so don't be daunted. Not as complicated as it looks anyway.
Enjoy your embroidery. Susan

Hi Jill, it occurs to me that if you are doing the phase class Denise might have to order a piece for you so she'll need to know pretty soon. Her email is the same one as for the trip you're organising for us so drop her a line and she'll get you sorted.
Enjoy cherry blossom time - I'm not jealous at all!!!

Hi Jill, class dates are 28 April to 1st May, Thursday to Sunday, or 27-30 October.
We won't be seeing you at GMEX in February, but let Denise know if you'd like to do the four days or the weekend taster.
all the best.
