Fiber Talk with Susan O’Connor

Cover image of the Inspirations 100th issue.

There is no dispute that Inspirations is the world’s most beautiful needlework magazine with every issue showing some of the most beautiful needlework designs available to stitchers today. Editor Susan O’Connor has been with the magazine for all 100 issues. She joins us this week to talk about the magazine’s history, what’s involved in assembling each issue, and some of the great designers who contribute to Inspirations. It’s a magazine that every needleworker should receive and our conversation with Susan will help you understand why.–Gary and Christine

Fiber Talk with Cathe Ray

Needle in a Haystack is celebrating 20 years of serving needleworkers.

Cathe Ray was a gospel singer and computer programmer before she decided to start a needlework store in which she would like to shop. She started Needle In A Haystack while she was working full time, then told the corporate world good bye and has now built one of the best sources for top-quality needlework supplies available to stitchers. This year she celebrates 20 years in business. Along the way she has been fortunate to have a talented staff that makes a difference in stitching success for in-store and online customers. It’s a tremendous story about a talented lady and we’re confident you’ll enjoy it.–Gary and Christine
