Stitched by M.A. Dewald.

The weekend is just a couple of days away and that means it’s chatting day. This week Cindy and Gary talk about the Stitch Sainte Luce Women’s Cooperative, Anne-Marie Anderson-Mayes’ new blog and her column about Maker DNA, Kaffe Fassett, what draws us to designs, whether we learn from our stitching, colors and color conversion, and stitching with various strands of thread. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. Our guest will be Deb DeCrane and she’ll show us how to lace needlework projects. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Jessica Grimm–Cindy and Gary

Fiber Talk with Ann-Marie Anderson Mayes

Chaise Longue 3D needlework design by Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes.

Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes is my guest this week. She is owner of Beautiful Stitches in Perth, Australia and is a needle artist, designer, teacher, and thread dyer. When she’s teaching, her focus is as much on developing student confidence as it is on needlework. Her designs are brightly colored, unique creations that use a variety of threads, stitches, and techniques. Ann-Marie is probably best known for her 3D designs, specifically her Chaise Longue and William Morris chair creations. While the chairs look complex, Ann-Marie indicates that they are relatively easy to put together and I can assure you the results are quite stunning. It was an absolute treat to talk with Ann-Marie and I’m confident you’ll enjoy learning more about this talented and enthusiastic needleworker.–Gary
