As a former University of Chicago mathematics teacher, Diane has used math concepts as inspiration for her designs and presentations. Diane strongly supports the integration of needleart/fiber art and mathematics and is a contributing author of “Crafting by Concepts: Fiber Arts and Mathematics.” Noted classes/designs include Walking the Water’s Edge, Diamond City Lights, and Amanda’s Garden.

Have you come across the Linen and Threads Mystery Stitch A Long cross stitch sampler? It is a free project from the owners/designers of Linen and Threads (Australia), which began in 2017. A new band was released once a month (the mystery) on their website. There are nearly 10,000 members of the group on Facebook from all around the world. The 2018 SAL has a medieval menagerie theme. 2017 was garden.
Michelle,
Thanks for listening. Have not heard of that stitch along. Sounds interesting. I’ll check it out.Thanks.
