Her second business is Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery. At Avlea, she creates a wide variety of designs using the colors and patterns that are part of the long, colorful history of the Mediterranean region.

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 12-11-19

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

Make some notes as you enjoy this week’s video about needlework books:
