    Needle Art and Breast Cancer with Kathy Andrews

    Kathy Andrews, The Unbroken Thread
    We hear time and time again about the meditative and calming powers of needlework, particularly when life gets difficult. Kathy Andrews of The Unbroken Thread joined us for the Dec. 8 Fiber Talk Stitch Hour to talk about how she used needle and thread to help her deal with the roller coaster ride of emotions and reactions that accompanied her battle against breast cancer. Whether it’s cancer, death of a loved one, or some other challenging moment in life, Kathy is a shining example of how you can use stitching to keep yourself from losing it. “It’s cheaper than therapy.”

    Fiber Talk Samplers Series

    Wednesday night, Oct. 6, we broadcast our fourth in the series of live sampler shows. This week we were live at The Attic (attic needlework.com) with Jean Lea and our pocketbooks are lighter for it. For the other three shows in the series, we enjoyed seeing a number of samplers from the collection of Kim Young, Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com), fawned over some of the collection owned by Melinda Cole of Merry Wind Farm, and received an excellent sampler education from Vickie LoPiccolo Jennett of Needlework Press. If you missed any shows or want to see them again, they are all presented below. We hope you enjoy them.–Gary, Beth, and Jenifer
