| A sample of work by Helen Young (Wonderful Weaselworks) |
This weekend I joined members of City of York Embroiderers' Guild for a workshop run by Helen Young of Wonderful Weaselworks. If you managed to get along to the Guild's Embroidery for All Exhibition at the Guildhall in York this summer you will have seen some of Helen's fabulous work on display. Helen is a talented embroiderer and quiltmaker who runs workshops and sells vintage & recycled craft materials.

I had to leave at lunchtime but it was a lovely morning and I can't wait to see how everyone else's turned out.
