Fiber Talk with Lea Peacock

Class registration for the 2025 EGA Needlework Faire and Sampler University opens at noon Eastern, Sept. 10.
The new Sampler University event at the EGA National Seminar is open to members and non-members. Projects will be the oustanding Iesabella Kettlewell 1818 sampler, taught by Sylvia Stecker of Running with Needles & Scissors and a beautiful Sampler Sewing Roll, taught by Becky Nolan of Lucy Beam.
This week’s guest is Lea Peacock, newly elected president of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Thanks to Sassy Jacks Stitchery and Avlea Folk Embroidery for sponsoring the show. In our conversation we learn about Lea, her stitching interests, and her long history of EGA membership. She talks about exciting things the EGA is doing, and some upcoming activities, particularly the 2025 National Seminar. Of note is the new Sampler University, “an all-inclusive two-day sampler extravaganza featuring two popular artisans, two beautiful offerings, and other delights for EGA members and non-members.” The National Seminar, Needlework Faire, will be held Nov. 12 to 16, 2025 in Dallas. Registration for Sampler University and the 2025 Seminar classes opens at noon Eastern on Sept. 10, 2024. Lea also joined us for the Sept. 4, 2024, Fiber Talk Stitch Hour in which we reviewed all of the 2025 classes. The Seminar offers a stunning array of classes for needleworkers of all levels. We hope you enjoy our conversations with Lea and encourage you to join the EGA.–Gary
