Fiber Talk with Kathy Andrews IV

Trevelyon’s Needlebook, and upcoming EGA class taught by Kathy Andrews.
The maze in the Mary Parsons sampler.
Kathy Andrews of The Unbroken Thread joins us this week for her fourth visit. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. This week’s topics include Kathy’s upcoming EGA class, Trevelyon’s Needlebook. Registration closes March 6 so join the EGA and sign up quickly. We also talk about the pros and cons of online and live teaching and designing for teaching vs. designing for art. Our main topic is the history behind the various motifs in reproduction samplers, Kathy’s upcoming research on alphabets and text, the Solomon’s Porch motif, and what Kathy has learned about samplers with mazes and/or labyrinths. While we typically focus on the girls who stitched the samplers, the elements that make up the samplers and their history is an equally, if not more, interesting topic. Be sure to follow Kathy on social media and bookmark her website to keep up on the exciting things she’s doing.–Gary
