Sandy - do your parents live near me? I have a guest house you can stay in - Lara can recommend it - she stayed here for her first home workshop. However, I forgot her faux cream for her coffee - I still feel guilty about that!
Back to the RR information - I'm so glad you sew - so you can understand the work and the pulling out of stitches - wow I did a lot of that. But none the less - I love handwork so it was a joy. And I did take pictures (which I often forget to do!).
