I thought a catch up was long over due and I could share the news that I am now officially a Royal School of Needlework Graduate Tutor.
Yes, I survived the Future Tutor course and graduated with a distinction in July of this year.
So here are some of the things I got up to for the course alongside the subjects I had already covered.
 |
 |
| Stitching with colleagues on the Future Tutors kneeler project |
 |
| I put a French knot or two in the Queen's 90th birthday brook |
 |
| Visiting the Westminster Abbey Broderers studio |
 |
| I made a box or two |
 |
| ...and a number of teaching samples |
 |
| but never forgot my Durham base - canvas shading of the Durham cathedral sanctuary knocker |
 |
| Finished off with my signature project - a recreation of the Ashmolean museum's 17th century frog purse |
 |
and was amazed to be awarded the E Elvin Goldwork Award
It's incredibly hard work, but I'm having a ball can't you tell.
