Fiber Talk with Ilke Cochrane

Ilke Cochrane is the Fiber Talk Sunday guest this week. Ilke is owner of Mabel Figworthy’s Fancies, based in the UK. It was through monthly lessons with Ilke that Gary was first exposed to Hardanger needlework. While most of her time is spent on Hardanger designs, Ilke also creates designs for cross stitch, blackwork, Assisi, Shisha embroidery, surface/freestyle embroidery, and gold work. In addition, she is an active teacher and a “sucker for specialty threads, particularly silks.” Ilke is a tremendous and versatile needle artist and it was a treat talking with her about her needlework efforts. It was also fun to learn the original of her company name.–Gary
