One of the many interesting things we experienced during the first day of the Bathya workshop at Sassy Jacks Stitchery in Weaverville, NC, is the variety of stands, scroll frames, and hoops people use to hold their stitching projects. Enjoy this short scan of stitching equipment. You may find a solution you like.–Gary
It’s Video Wednesday and I have two of them for you, both made with Jean Lea during my recent visit to The Attic Needlework shop in Mesa, AZ. The first is a tour of Lucy Navier 1818, the Hands Across the Sea Samplers 2019 Queen of the May reproduction. It’s a design with several elements that will intrigue anyone who loves reproduction samplers. The second is a video I’ve wanted to do for some time. Jean treated all of us to a rather extended discussion of her all-time and/or current favorite samplers. It also became obvious during the video that she has a bad case of startitis. I hope you enjoy hearing Jean talk about her favorite subject. In addition, remember that tomorrow and Friday I’m at Sassy Jacks for the Bathya workshop with Nicola Parkman. Watch for more interviews and videos. Sunday’s guest: Vonna joins me to interview Jacob deGraaf of Modern Folk Embroideries. There will also be a discount on his designs.–Gary
I hope you enjoy the videos this week. I’m always looking for guests, so let me know if there is someone you’d like me to have on the show.

This week’s Fiber Talk guest is Cecilia Turner, the popular designer and owner of Heart in Hand Needleart. Cecilia’s career started with a prize winning design she submitted to “Classic Cross Stitch” magazine in 1991, and she’s provided a steady stream of innovative cross-stitch patterns since then. Among other series, Cecilia is known for her Wee Fruits and Wee Vegetables designs. Her latest series is the Square Dance monthly collection. It’s always fun and interesting to peek into the mind of a successful designer and I’m confident you’ll learn a lot from this conversation.–Gary
