Fiber Talk with Christine Miller II

Scarlet Coral by Christine Miller
“Weaving with Wire” by Christine Miller

This week’s Fiber Talk show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. When we first talked with Christine Miller in Feb. 2022 about her weaving-with-wire art, she was in the early stages of writing a book. That book, “Weaving with Wire: Creating Woven Metallic Fabric,” is now available and Christine returns this week to talk about it. It’s a beautiful book that opens the door to exploring Christine’s textile art techniques. For non-weavers, the book contains a large section on art and the art-creation process. Weavers will want the book to help them take their weaving to a new level. Non-weavers will want to own the book because it will expand their creative horizons. Everyone will simply enjoy looking at Christine’s art. The book is available from your LNS or wherever books are sold. It’s a good addition to your library and we’re confident you’ll enjoy hearing how the book came to be.–Beth and Gary

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 with Linda Eaton II

As promised, Winterthur’s Linda Eaton returns, this time to talk about some of her favorite subjects, centered around whether needlework is art, the history of art and the role of women, how needlework fit and didn’t fit in art history, clothing embroidery, and a little bit about the upcoming “Costuming The Crown” exhibition. Linda Eaton is Winterthur’s John L. & Marjorie P. McGraw Director of Collections & Senior Curator of Textiles.–Gary and Christine
