Fiber Talk with Lindsey Anne Gradolph

Lindsey Anne Gradolph is our guest this week in a show sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Lindsey draws her free-form embroidery color inspiration from her current home city of Tokyo, where she teaches English. “All of her work uses only second hand or vintage textiles to create colorful, vibrant, highly textural hand-stitched pieces. Through her work she aims to catalogue the passage of time, and investigate the relationship between color and form by making the unseen seen with simple needle and thread.” Lindsey does interesting work and brings a fresh perspective to the world of embroidery.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 9-8-21

It’s a short work week, but they included a Wednesday so we opted to chat. Beth and Gary gather this week, after we’ve had a chance to gather our thoughts, to talk about our experiences at the EGA Seminar. While our time was spent generating content for those who couldn’t attend, we came away from the event with a lot of knowledge that is going to help our needlework. If you haven’t already, go to the Fiber Talk YouTube channel and enjoy the 18 videos we produced that provide almost six hours of coverage. Please tell your friends so they can enjoy, too. Thanks to Sassy Jacks Stitchery and Middletwin for sponsoring our EGA National Seminar coverage. Also, join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. We’ll be stitching and chatting so bring your favorite project, beverage, and pen and paper.–Beth and Gary
