Candice Williams is our guest this week and the show is sponsored by Fire Poppies Needlework Boutique. Candice is the sister of Kimberly Ann Carter and new owner of Kimberly Ann Needlepoint. Kimberly passed away this past November, leaving behind a family and a growing painted-canvas needlepoint business. Candice didn’t want that business to go away so she combined her artistic talents and willingness to learn needlepoint (she’s now addicted) to keep the business growing. In this week’s conversation we learn about her rapid movement through a somewhat steep learning curve that has generated excitement for needlepoint and all that the needle arts have to offer. Candice is an exciting new addition to the needlepoint world and it will be fun to see her art expressed through canvas.–Gary

Loved your interview with Candice
Williams. Also caught up on the earlier mid-week chat. I too am doing Agnus Dei on purple linen using floche. I also plan to use fine gold and silver
In the center as well as maybe some beads.
There are 32186 crosses according to the cover sheet. That means we must do a minimum of 920 crosses a day for 35 days! Long hours and lots of
Audio books.
Thanks for the shout out on my clean threads comment. I do a lot of surface embroidery and Goldwork . Taught by the RSN, one can become obsessive about not touching your stitches ( not only dirt but roughens the thread, messes up and flattens stitches) – in class all is covered in tissue except the immediate work area. Glad to hear you are using a mellor to hold down stitches as you pull thread. Jenny
Adin-Christie sells a wonderful mellor
Made by her father. The BLT is my favorite laying tool as well – Shay Pendray was the original creator of the BLT.
Enjoy Nashville.
