Fiber Talk with Orna Willis IV

Gage by Orna Willis, offered as a class through the Shining Needle Society.

Nomi’s Dragons, one of Orna’s newest designs.
Orna Willis makes her fourth visit this week in a show sponsored by CyberPointers. The focus of our conversation is Orna’s new Gage design and the suicide and mental-illness stories behind it. Gage is a collaboration Orna did with Cecelia Stricklin of The Thread Gatherer in honor of the life of her son Gage. Our awareness of mental health is growing significantly these days and needlework can play a role in helping people who are struggling. The Gage project is being offered as a class through the Shining Needle Society and there is still room left in the class. You must act quickly. The extended deadline is Dec. 16, 2022 and the class starts Feb. 1, 2023. Learn more in the Cyber Classes section of Orna’s website. We also talk about avoiding getting into a design rut, explore Orna’s design process, and how she views older designs. It’s always enlightening and fun to talk with Orna and this week’s conversation is no different. After you listen to the show, visit Orna’s website to explore her catalog of designs and consider participating in the Gage class.–Beth and Gary

It took Gary three tries with the center diamond of Mystery in St. Tropez to get a satisfactory look.
