Today was our first in a series of seven shows focused on meditative stitching. We were joined today by Krista West of Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery. She talked about what constitutes meditative stitching and the many health benefits it provides. Sheri Berger, the Colorado Cross Stitcher, then joined us to talk and demonstrate simple stretching exercises that will help you be more comfortable, particularly after long stitching sessions. That segment begins at 23:25. Here are some links to material that Krista West presented on meditative stitching. While the articles may refer to knitting, the information applies to all forms of needlework:
Here is the first show in the Meditative Stitching series:
Eileen Bennett of The Sampler House is a widely recognized sampler history expert, skilled sampler reproducer, and talented designer of original samplers. In this week’s show, sponsored by Embroiderers Guild of America and Needle in a Haystack, we learn about Eileen’s impressive background of sampler research/genealogy, hear stories about how she’s uncovered many interesting aspects of reproduction samplers, and learn about the many books she’s authored. We’re confident you’ll enjoy the discussion and encourage you to consider joining the EGA and shopping at Needle in a Haystack.–Gary

It’s been more than two years since we talked with Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor and it was great to get caught up with one of the hobby’s top cross-stitch designers. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Karen is not only one of the hobby’s best, but she’s extremely prolific and has the unique ability to produce a tremendous variety of design styles, using a wide range of color palettes. This week we delve into her creative process and learn about how she keeps that creative edge sharp, year after year. Be sure to visit her website gallery and call Sassy Jacks to purchase a Rosewood Manor kit.–Gary
