Hi- I have so enjoyed the discussions with Nicola Parkman. She is both an historian and a needlework designer which I find so fascinating. My first sampler was a beauty – a heart shape for our 10th wedding anniversary recently. My husband scarcely knows it’s there, but it was an absolute pleasure to stitch it for us. Thanks Fibretalk and Nicola Parkman from Kate in Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you! You have inspired me to start a new needlework project.
Haha!! Terrific. Enjoy!
Gary
Thank you so much for your podcasts. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one as well as researching the various links provided by you and your guests. I feel as if I have made new friends. I look forward to each new weekly guest and the new mid-week “chats.”
Listening to Nicola is sheer pleasure! I appreciate your introducing her to me.
I did embroidery and counted cross-stitch in the past and have recently come back to it (while still enjoying other sewing and needlecrafts.) I am very interested in needlework history and the place needlework has held in womens’ lives throughout history. The sampler is an wonderful source of this history. I look forward to retirement in a few years when I can devote more time to a project such as “The Old Scot.”
My first sampler was a reproduction sampler by Joanne Harvey. It was an alphabet by Alma Earon. It still hangs on my wall.
My first sampler was stitched in 1984, when our son started high school. Think I told myself it was time to RELAX! It was stitched on 14 count Aida…a house, 2 pine trees, an alphabet. A couple of years later, an unauthorized party christened it with a can of soda! Stain and all, it still hangs proudly in our home. Many memories with that piece!!! Loving your Podcasts!
