Fiber Talk with Michelle Garrette

SI 1849 by Bendy Stitchy Designs

Michelle Garrette is our guest this week and the show is sponsored by Fire Poppies Needlework Boutique. Michelle is an active needleworker, FlossTube and Instagram influencer and, recently, a cross stitch designer, who just finished her first Nashville Market. We have a terrific conversation about how her needlework career has started, her approach to designing, and what lies ahead for Bendy Stitchy Designs. Enjoy the show.–Gary
