Fiber Talk with Krista Gramer

Krista Gramer with Miss Lucy Calcutt 1825.

This week we talk about reproduction samplers with Krista Gramer from Just Stitching Along. We had the conversation shortly after Krista returned from her first Nashville Market where she introduced her first to reproductions: Miss Lucy Calcutt 1825 and Gertrude’s Garden. In the show we learn about Krista’s experiences charting here first reproductions along with a variety of other needlework topics. This week, listeners also have an opportunity to win a copy of Miss Lucy Calcutt 1825. To learn how, listen to the show and respond by midnight Eastern time, March 18.–Gary and Christine
