Daisy stump work using antique linen, by Liz Tapper.Silk and Silver Rose by Liz Tapper.Sassy Jacks Stitchery is sponsoring this week’s show with Elizabeth Tapper of Lenham Needlecraft and The Art of the Needle. Liz Tapper is a talented needleworker, designer, and graduate of the Royal School of Needlework. She stitches and designs using several techniques, does restoration and conservation, consults, teaches, lectures, and does commission work. We have a great time learning about her needlework journey, approach to designs, and how she’s built her business. We also talk about her lampshade designs: a four-seasons crewelwork series and a beautiful whitework creation. Imagine having a lampshade that shows off your needlework. Be sure to check out her upcoming online courses. She’s offering some good ones in the next couple of months.–Beth and Gary
