I had the pleasure of taking a class with Jo a couple of years ago. She's an absolute delight, an excellent teacher and very understated. Her work has been featured in Inspirations magazine and the Chelsea Flower Show, amongst others. Her kits typically only require a handful of fairly straightforward stitches. The result is classic and simply beautiful.
