Arlene Cohen designed it an Pat Goodson stitched it as a gift to her.
Patricia Goodson is our guest this week as we welcome our new sponsor, Fat Quarter Shop. Visit them at fatquartershop.com for all of your stitching needs. Our guest is a multi-faceted needle artist who learned how to stitch while she was growing up in Brazil. This week, in addition to learning about her needlework skills, we get some advice about how to maximize our stitching time, improve concentration/focus, eliminate stress and pain, and make the most of our limited stitching time. Pat also regularly stands to stitch and explains the various benefits she’s realized from that approach. You’ll be a better stitcher at the end of this show.–Gary
