    Helen's work is fabulous. Years ago I heard about the English Guild of Needlework. I visited their Guild office in London and was impressed out of my mind! In order to join, you have to attend classes and pass a series of very difficult tests. So, every time someone who isn't quilter remarks how patient I must be to make a quilt, I silently think, you don't know about REAL patience! I'm looking forward to seeing the quilts Helen will make when she finishes her beautiful embroidery and starts quilting! Please encourage her to join us on the Board.

    I have been doing a bit of research and yes you are absolutely correct. Its a School for Embroidery and the tests are difficult and you have to learn more than one type of embroidery. At the end I believe you have a City and guilds Certificate. I will ask her more about this.

    that is so absolutely drop-dead wonderful that i hope when she finishes, she exhibits them in a way that doesn't allow anyone to touch them!
