You may want to own this book from RSN.Ah, Wednesday–That day of the week that allows you to look forward to a weekend of stitching. Here to chat this week are Gary and Arlene and our subject is books that needleworkers should consider owning. We don’t have to go far to find the books either. All we have to do is delve into Arlene’s vast collection and borrow from Gary’s lame library. Have a pen and paper ready to make notes and enjoy the discussion.–Arlene and Gary

Thanks to Arlene Cohen and Gary for this interesting take on needlework books! I must reorganize my library now!
I have some of the same books by Trish Burr, the Royal School of Needlework, Jane Nicholas, an older copy of the DMC color chart.
I can recommend also books by Search Press of Australia such as the ‘A- Z of Embroidery Stitches’. There is a series of ‘A – Z’ books. Also the Milner Craft Series of Australia has a series, with titles such as ‘Decorative Designs in Hardanger’. Helen M. Steven’s ‘World of Embroidery’ published by D&C (in the US), is beautiful, as are all of her books that I have seen. She does a distinct style of needle painting I think you would call it. Also have a beautiful book by Gary Clarke and an art history book of by Gail Sirna, featuring women doing needle work in classic paintings. It is called ‘In Praise of the Needlewoman’…published by Merrill (London, UK). I took a workshop in canvas work from her about ten years ago!
I have bought some of the books from http://www.berlinembroidery.com. She has many of the British and Australian books (Tanja Berlin’s online shop…she ships internationally). Others I have from book sales and charity tables, plus from my dear late stepmother’s collection. At our needlework guild we have an exchange, where people bring in items and others take them, for a donation to our annual charity! So actually I collect a lot of books sometimes!
My apologies for the confusion. The shows on Dec. 4 and 11 are videos, not regular audio podcasts. Thus they won’t show up on your podcast app. You can see them on the Fiber Talk website or our YouTube channel. We’ll be back to regular audio podcasts Dec. 15. Gary

Same problem as the comments above – I haven’t had a podcast episode since the midweek one on 4th Dec – not coming in to my iphone podcast app automatically like usual.

Lita O’Hara, the Nashville Needlepointer and Patron Saint of Chaos, is our guest this week. Lita is a self-taught painted-canvas designer and project finisher. In our conversation we learn about her design process, what it was like to paint those first canvases, and how her finishing business evolved. To keep sanity in her life and […]
It’s Midweek Chat week and Beth and Gary connected through our respective internet providers to talk about eyeglasses and what we learned from Kelly Lea Teske, supporting Ukraine designer Ekaterina at stitchyprincess.etsy.com, selecting projects vs. being influenced by stitching friends, projects we have that need to be at the top of the pile, stitching in […]
It’s hard to stitch if you can’t see well and, for most of us, seeing well requires a good pair of glasses. This week, in a show sponsored by CyberPointers, Kelly Lea Teske returns to help us better understand how to make the most of our next visit to the eye doctor and the optician. […]

I don’t seem to be able to find this episode on Google Podcasts or Apple’s podcast player. Is there anywhere else to find it?
