CyberPointers and Sassy Jacks Stitchery are sponsoring this week’s conversation with Andrea Santiamo, the new editor and one of the new owners, along with her daughter Marisa and Karen Sanicola, of “Needlepoint Now” magazine. We had a great conversation with Andrea, learning how they came to own the magazine, their plans for the publication’s future, work they’re going to do to attract young stitchers, how they are working with local needlework stores to support them, and various non-magazine activities they have planned to give stitchers opportunities to interact and learn. It’s an exciting time for the magazine and good to know that it is in the hands of three very enthusiastic and dedicated needlepoint lovers.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 2-1-23

It was warm in Connecticut in January says Jenifer’s project.

It’s Wednesday and we’re talking about needlework. This week we scrounged up several topics including Alison and Steve Cole and their casket project, the tremendous needlework Margaret Hagen showed us in last week’s Stitch Hour and the big sale going on now at The Essamplaire, the shocking fact that Gary has been stitching regularly and making significant progress, storing thread and the new stitcher organization products Jenny White of Lucky Jonquil is producing with her laser cutter, how tight to wind floss on bobbins, how we store thread is a reflection of our personalities, Jenifer’s temperature project, Jenifer’s temari group and its longevity, and whether we have stitching mentors. Sunday’s guest: Andrea Santiamo, new owner and editor of “Needlepoint Now.”–Jenifer and Gary
