Our conversation this week is with Brandy Prather of BeStitchMe. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America (egausa.org) and Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleaembroidery.com). Brandy is a passionate dyer of needlework ground cloth and silk thread. In fact, her whole family is passionate about dyeing the basics of needle art, and they all help Brandy keep up with the demand. We learn quite a bit about how Brandy developed her business and what it offers today. We also got to talk at length about the new BeStitchMe retail store that will be opening in early August. It’ll be a large cross stitch store with plenty of room for stitching and classes. Brandy also has a new line of threads ready to be introduced at the grand opening. We hope you enjoy the conversation and encourage you to visit bestitchme.com to explore the beautiful linen, aida, and threads.–Beth and Gary
