Ann Frank of Crossing Centuries joins us this week and, to celebrate, she has created “Ode to the Gourd, a free chart for you to download from Ann’s website home page or by going directly to the download page using wetalkfiber.com/gourd. Ann is a talented “maker” who specializes in basket weaving, cross-stitch designing, and reproducing antique samplers. She loves the primitive style and all of her work and approach to decorating reflects the colors and styles of that genre. She has collected antique samplers for some time and is now balancing her basket weaving with reproducing those samplers so cross stitchers can enjoy her findings. She’s a fascinating artist who has much to offer to the needlework world. Remember to download the free chart and share your finished project so Ann can see how you interpret the design.–Beth and Gary
