Lorene Salt’s Autumn KaleidoscopeOur first guest in 2018 is needlepoint designer Lorene Salt. We first encountered Lorene’s work when we learned that she is doing a year-long project with Needle Artists by the Sea, using her stunning Autumn Kaleidoscope design. Lorene was a cross stitcher until she ran into Gayle Bicknell’s Pieces of Eight design. Stitching that excellent piece of needlepoint addicted her and it wasn’t long before she was using her fashion design background to create her own designs. In addition to designing, she has completed all three levels of the Embroiderers Association of Canada’s Canvaswork Correspondence courses and teaches regularly in Canada and the U.S. We had a great time talking about stitching with Lorene and hope you’ll enjoy listening to the conversation.–Christine and Gary
