This week’s guest is Amy Poore, needlepoint designer and owner of A Poore Girl Paints Needlepoint Designs. Amy acquired the needlepoint virus from a customer at a nail salon and rapidly progressed from stitcher to designer and producer of creative painted canvases. The real catalyst was her husband, who told her to “get a hobby.” Oops! We have a terrific discussion with Amy about her stitching and design interests and about the needlepoint hobby in general. She’s an exciting contributor to the hobby and is working hard to help attract younger stitchers. Join us this week to learn more about one of the up-and-coming stars in the stitching world.–Christine and Gary

Hi Gary,
Just a couple belt sources for you. I went through a real belt phase for a while. They were popular with horse show people in the 80s and 90s, which is how I got started with them. They’re a good size for keeping in a tote for an on-the-go project. I even painted some myself and probably still have graph paper with charted out designs somewhere in my files.
My belts are finished by:

Amy,
Sorry, I missed this comment. Thanks for the links. Belts fascinate me. I’ll check them out. Thanks for listening.
