The Royal School of Needlework book, “200 Essential Embroidery Stitches,” is available from our sponsor, Sassy Jacks Stitchery.Stitch instructions in the RSN book are extremely well done and easy to follow.This week’s show, sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery, is not our usual needle art designer interview. The good folks at the Royal School of Needlework, through publisher Search Press, have published a new book that we feel should be in the library of every needleworker. The book, 200 Essential Embroidery Stitches, is an excellent print extension of the Royal School’s powerful Stitch Bank. In this week’s show, Beth and Gary do an in-depth review of the book. Prior to publishing this week’s show, we contacted Kim at Sassy Jacks and she has ordered a supply so you can order it and have it shipped to you as soon as Kim receives her shipment.–Beth and Gary

Floral arrangement by Amy Jones.Purse designed and embroidered by Amy Jones.We travel to Australia this week to talk with embroidery artist Amy Jones of Grandpa Cat. Our show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Amy is a multi-faceted artist who works primarily with needle and thread using new and recycled materials. She also designs coloring pages, creates embroidery kits, teaches embroidery workshops, and frequently exhibits her art. While she is skilled at painting and drawing, Amy prefers needle and thread because of the way it allows her to express her interpretations of nature, either in the realistic or abstract form. As for the company name Grandpa Cat, you’ll have to listen to the conversation to learn where that originated. After you listen to the conversation, visit Amy’s website to experience her work.–Beth and Gary

The passing of Jean Lea will leave a huge void in the needlework world, particularly for those who love, reproduce, and stitch samplers. In addition to being a terrific person, Jean was widely known as the owner of The Attic, one of the few true destination needlework shops. Anyone who spent any time with her was quickly immersed in her passion and love for samplers and amazed at her extensive knowledge. For me, the thing that set her apart from others is the role she played putting sampler charts, threads, and linen in the hands of so many stitchers. It was really hard to walk out of that store without at least one sampler to stitch. She was a major part of why samplers are so popular today. Over the years, Fiber Talk did several shows with Jean and, to remember her, I went back through the archives to find one that gives us a true sense of who she was, what she knew, and what samplers meant to her. This video, from Oct. 2021, stood out. I asked her to choose some of her favorites, and I’m sure that was a tall task for Jean, so we could spend 30 min. talking about them. It was great fun recording that show and more enjoyable watching it this week to remember her. I hope you find it to be a good memory of a great lady. Thanks, Jean. RIP—Gary
