Fiber Talk with Cecilia Ajayi

The Embroiderers Guild of America is sponsoring this week’s show with Cecilia Ajayi of Celia Jayi designs. Cecilia’s speciality is three-dimensional bead embroidery. Most needleworkers view beads as embellishment items. Cecilia takes them to a new level by using them as her “thread.” It’s fascinating and creative work and was great fun learning about her and how she creates her needle art. Visit her website and maybe try a kit. It’ll give you some creative fun.–Gary
