The show is sponsored by the Embroiderer’s Guild of America. This week we feature EGA’s Special Interest Groups, which are available to members and nonmembers. When we first talked with Isabella, Dec. 15, 2024, we learned about her macrame art and her new book at the time, “Mindful Macrame.” In the year that has passed, Isabella has been battling breast cancer. We spend the first 15 min. of the show talking about her journey. I’m pleased to report that she had her mastectomy Feb. 16 and, pending test results, they believe they have removed all of the cancer. After that discussion, we talk about her new book, which will be available in the U.S. March 17. In our conversation, we talk how the books helps beginners and how easy and inexpensive it is to try macrame. For needleworkers who are looking for a diversion/new inspiration, it might be a technique that satisfies your maker instincts. Check out Isabella’s new book and/or her other four books and visit her website for classes and tutorials.—Gary
