Lita O’Hara, the Nashville Needlepointer and Patron Saint of Chaos, is our guest this week. Lita is a self-taught painted-canvas designer and project finisher. In our conversation we learn about her design process, what it was like to paint those first canvases, and how her finishing business evolved. To keep sanity in her life and to be able to deliver quality product, she keeps her customer list to a limited number. That allows her to get to know what they like and prevents late nights trying to meet holiday deadlines. Throughout the conversation, we offer several tips that will help stitchers produce projects that will result in easier and better finishing. Lita also holds finishing classes regularly and her Instagram and YouTube accounts are good sources for finishing tips and techniques. Mixed in are several entertaining videos. If you’ve never made cord, she has an excellent YouTube video that will show you how.–Beth and Gary
