Fiber Talk with Jane Ellen Balzuweit

Royal Garden by Jane Ellen Balzuweit.

Jane Ellen Balzuweit is our guest this week and EGA is sponsoring the show. We learned about the talented Jane Ellen through the lead article by Sandra L. Gordon in the Dec. 2020 issue of EGA’s “Needle Arts” magazine. After reading the article, we simply had to talk to this talented needle-art designer and teacher. While she is skilled in several techniques, including stumpwork, it’s whitework that gets her heart racing and her design work is absolutely terrific. This week you’ll also hear the story about the one time in her life Gay Ann Rogers stitched on linen. Join us for a fun conversation with one of our hobby’s truly delightful artists.–Beth and Gary
