It wasn&#8217;t just any old class.  The Alpine Experience classes are a cut above with magnificent accommodations and fabulous meals offered in the setting of two chalets high up in the French Alps.  The week starts and ends with transport from Geneva airport so that, from beginning to end, there is nothing to think about but embroidery!  Thanks to Nadine and Mark for a wonderful week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicola Jarvis is a superb teacher &#8211; she lets the students work at their own pace and on their own projects which incorporate her designs, of course.  She gives a short stitch lesson to one or two students, then offers thread colour choices to another but still has time for a heartwarming chat or a personalised art lesson.  Her kits are beautifully designed and screen printed making it easy to follow the various elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
