Embroidery artist Helen M. Stevens joins us this week in a show that is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Helen is, without doubt, one of the best, most creative, embroidery artists we have in the hobby today. The realism that she incorporates in her nature-oriented designs is rarely equalled. Her understanding of how thread interacts with light and how to use that to advantage makes her artwork visually stunning at all angles. She also is an accomplished author and recently released her first novel, “The Saxon Twins: The Needle and the Sword.” In addition, Helen is celebrating 20 years of contributions to “Inspirations” magazine We had a terrific conversation with Helen (with additional input from her parrot), learning what goes into creating outstanding needle art. Be sure to visit her website to purchase your copy of her 2023 calendar.–Beth and Gary
