Fiber Talk with RSN’s Dr. Susan Kay-Williams and Jacqui McDonald
Dr. Susan Kay-Williams, Chief Executive, and Jacqui McDonald, RSN Tutor and Stitch Bank Developer, of the Royal School of Needlework, join us this week in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. In our discussion, we look at pandemic-driven changes at the RSN that are going to expand global access to the many programs they have to offer. The big excitement, and the primary focus of the show, is the upcoming RSN Stitch Bank and accompanying Adopt a Stitch Campaign. Jacquie MacDonald is managing this new effort and it promises to be one of the best resources available to needleworkers of all types and skill levels. Adopting a stitch is quite affordable and maybe something your group might consider. Enjoy the show and make some time to explore the educational opportunities offered by the Royal School of Needlework.–Gary

Our guest this week is Joanna Kabanoff of Mojo Stitches. Joanna a relatively new and very talented designer who has already delivered some very creative charts.
