Except Grandmas, designed by Stephanie Webb of Lindy Stitches.
Lindy Stitches is the company and Stephanie Webb is the designer. Stephanie joins me this week to talk about how a hobby that started when she was eight has evolved into a business that is delivering some creative and fun designs. The 2019 Nashville Market was a successful debut for Stephanie with her A Mother’s Heart, Bunny Lace Trio, Except Grandmas, and Peacock Keeper introductions, along with her very popular Birds to the Bough design. I’m confident you’ll enjoy listening to Stephanie as much as I enjoyed talking to her.–Gary

Mary Legallet’s stitch guide for Zecca’s Royal Peeps canvas.Mary Legallet joins us this week to talk about a variety to topics, including her stitching career, Whimsical Wednesdays, Small Space Sundays, stitch guides and stitch concepts, and TV we all watch while stitching.
Mary has been needlepointing since high school, but a visit to Needlepoint Inc. in San Francisco in the mid-1990’s revealed decorative stitches and diverse thread choices that captured her imagination, and sparked a new, even deeper love for the craft. She then had the good fortune of learning under the tutelage of Beverly Churchfield and the late Wendy Harwood at Aristeia in Brentwood (now in Santa Monica).
Creating whimsical designs and cultivating a crisp, clean style all her own became not only a passion, but also a refuge. After a 25+ year career in advertising and corporate marketing, Mary chose to focus her life’s second chapter on needlepoint. She created whimsicalstitch.com to share the joy she finds in every new needlepoint project, stitch technique, and even the threads. –Gary and Christine
