Fiber Talk with Phillipa Turnbull

Lion design by Phillipa Turnbull, The Crewel Work Company.
We travel to England this week to visit with Phillipa Turnbull of The Crewel Work Company, one of the true masters of crewel designs and techniques. Phillipa and her business partner/daughter Laura work with castles, country houses, and museums around Britain to ensure precious private embroidery collections are understood and appreciated by fellow enthusiasts. Our conversation is a riveting exploration of English needlework history, discovery and restoration, and crewel stitching materials and techniques.–Gary

Fiber Talk at Nashville Market VII

Mrs. Bunn E. Tail by Brenda Gervais, With Thy Needle & Thread
Group VII consists of the last Nashville Market video; this one with Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle & Thread. Brenda got us through technical difficulties and me being distracted by those technical issues to show us an impressive lineup of new designs. My apologies for the rocky video, but I think it works well enough that you can enjoy the designs.
