It’s that day that’s half way between Sundays and we got together for another midweek chat. This time, Christine checked in from her car during a work break. Anything to deliver a podcast. Subjects this week are removing wrinkles from linen and our new video, “Mary McGuire’s 10 Favorite Needlepoint Stitches.” Our Sunday guest: Debbie Wordward of Painted Pony Designs.–Gary and Christine

Watch Mary McGuire’s 20 Favorite Needlepoint Stitches:
Mary has been needlepointing since high school, but a visit to Needlepoint Inc. in San Francisco in the mid-1990’s revealed decorative stitches and diverse thread choices that captured her imagination, and sparked a new, even deeper love for the craft. She then had the good fortune of learning under the tutelage of Beverly Churchfield and the late Wendy Harwood at Aristeia in Brentwood (now in Santa Monica).
Creating whimsical designs and cultivating a crisp, clean style all her own became not only a passion, but also a refuge. After a 25+ year career in advertising and corporate marketing, Mary chose to focus her life’s second chapter on needlepoint. She created whimsicalstitch.com to share the joy she finds in every new needlepoint project, stitch technique, and even the threads.
