This week’s guest is temari artist Jen Weber of the Clever Bunny Studio. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America at egausa.org. Jen Weber is a Shihan (certified teacher) of the Japanese Temari Association who has received numerous awards for her design work. While she does a good deal of temari design work, her real love, and the focus of her Clever Bunny Studio business, is teaching the technique to needleworkers at all levels. She can be found offering classes at venues such as the John C. Campbell Folk School and the Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Center, as well as at her home studio. Jen will also be our guest on the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour live show, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Join us as we explore her stunning temari and learn more about how she goes about creating her designs.–Gary

Di Cawdron, owner, and Debbie O’Brien, Wool Manager, of Appleton’s Wool are our guests this week. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America at egausa.org. EGA is renewing its FiberTalk5 offer of $5 off a new or virtual lecture for EGA members. Appletons Wool was started in 1835 and Di and her now-retired partner Julia, purchased it in 2013. We learn about this historic needlework company and how Di, Debbie, and their team have worked to modernize the operations and continue to provide the quality wool thread that is associated with the Appletons name. They’ve also increased the number of colors–now 425 and growing–and have done so without any interruption in supply during the pandemic. Learn all about how they create the some of the finest wool thread in the needlework world with all-British sources from sheep to needle.–Gary

Sassy Jacks Stitchery is sponsoring this week’s conversation with Wendy Lynn, Director of Membership and Marketing for the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Our overall goal in this conversation is to help listeners better understand the depth and breadth of what the EGA has to offer to needleworkers of all ages, skill levels, and technique interests. In other words, it’s not an organization just for surface embroiderers. You’ll also learn that there are several ways to participate in EGA activities, from local chapters to regional organizations to the national level. If you don’t want to join a local chapter or one doesn’t exist nearby, become a member at large. There are also many free offerings to non-members. We hope you’ll enjoy learning more about EGA and what it provides to needleworkers.–Beth and Gary
