Polyester organza decorated with painted and printed fusible web then decorated with hand stitch The NW Region Embroiderers Guild summer school was held on 2nd - 4th June at Waddow Hall, Lancashire. http://www.waddow.org.uk/home.aspx   A stunning view and great workshop rooms along with really good food made a fabulous start to the residential workshops. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for rooms to hire. The staff can't do enough to help, brilliant. This combined with a group of very keen guild members made sure I had one of the best experiences teaching a summer school.    My group was in a large airy room on the ground floor with plenty of tables and power sockets. The workshop was based on working with painted and printed fusible web. This was torn and ironed down to create a back ground for stitch. These backgrounds were decorated with combinations of Xpanadaprint, embossing powders,painted newspaper, gilding flake, mica flake or transfer foi
