Gary-Great job as always! Could you please post where we can find Theresa Baird’s Hearts East designs or her contact info?
Thanks so much.
Pat,
Thanks for listening. I’ll do one better for you. Here is the link to the Fiber Talk podcast we did with Theresa, At the bottom of the page are links to all of her online activities. Thanks for watching/listening and, if you make any purchases, I appreciate it if you mention Fiber Talk.

Next best thing to being there yourself, these videos – thank you! One question having watched all the videos, are samplers just really really popular right now, or did you pick out the people who do samplers because you like them?
Interesting that I ended up with videos from so many sampler people. That wasn’t intentional. To answer your question, there are a lot of sampler exhibitors at the show, reproduction and otherwise. While not everyone’s cup of tea, the sampler design/stitching community is rather large and quite active. Regardless, maybe I need to make a conscious effort next year to interview non-sample people. It’ll be interesting to see how the view stack up.
I wonder if there is a growing interest in things past, as we live in such a fast-moving world – the samplers provide a window into a slower, quieter world (though in some ways also a harsher and more difficult one, as some of the orphanage samplers well illustrate). I’m sure there’s a PhD in there somewhere 🙂 !
Gary, thank you a million for all of your videos! I wa on vacation without wifi (😱) during and right after market, so I’ve just gotten to see everything up close because of you. I appreciate the time and effort it took. Thanks also for entertaining me on my walks and in the car.
Hugs to you and the ladies and to Christine, too. Hope all is well in her world.
