Such an amazing few days spent at the magical place that is @westdeancollege... as you probably already know I’m a huge fan of the work by @maxinesuttontextiles so the opportunity to spend 3 days exploring screen print and stitch was sooo exciting!.... Loved every second!!! Put my big girl pants on and really faced my fear of working on a larger scale and visiting a subject that I love but have mixed feelings about but I’m so glad I did .. great support from Maxine, my travel & wine partner in crime @annabelfranks and 2 fellow students jane & Emily such a great positive experience thanks ladies @gardenshedmosaics @emilyrose.89

This week I added the very last stitches and this piece is now complete...it became densely covered after I used it as my sample for many workshops this year. Now finally finished and hanging in my home studio as inspiration as I start to design my simple kits for my upcoming embroidery workshops during 2020....it always take time to finish a piece, those last stitches take time and though .... today I am excited about starting back on other big stitching projects something that I will be doing over the Christmas and new year period while at home and while travelling #jessiechorley #jessiechorleyembroidery #jessiechorleyworkshops #slowstitching #applique #couchingstitch #runningstitch #drawingwithyourstyle
