Basketweaving Jenifer did at the Celebration of Needlework event.
Jenifer returned from five days at the Celebration of Needlework event and Wednesday arrived so we decided to talk about her experiences, the projects she acquired, and her “restrained” shopping efforts. We also talk about what it’s like trying to fit in at an event such as this when you’re by yourself and don’t know anyone. For people who are basically introverts, it can be a challenge. We also touch on ergonomics in Gary’s upcoming studio, the various projects we have in play, and our upcoming Stitch Hour guests. Sunday’s guest: Susan Hoekstra.–Jenifer and Gary

One of the biggest factors making needlework so much fun these days is the wide variety of threads that are available. When it comes to variety and uniqueness, Rainbow Gallery is definitely the leader. This week, in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery (avlea.life), we talk with Daniel Ravan, CEO of Rainbow Gallery. It’s an insightful discussion into how the company has dealt with the pandemic and the demands it has placed on needlework materials, how Rainbow Gallery produces threads, and what inspires the next offering. It’s always fun to learn about what’s behind the materials we enjoy using and it was enjoyable to learn how Rainbow Gallery produces their products.–Gary
