Lucy Navier 1818 from Hands Across the Sea Samplers.

It’s Video Wednesday and I have two of them for you, both made with Jean Lea during my recent visit to The Attic Needlework shop in Mesa, AZ. The first is a tour of Lucy Navier 1818, the Hands Across the Sea Samplers 2019 Queen of the May reproduction. It’s a design with several elements that will intrigue anyone who loves reproduction samplers. The second is a video I’ve wanted to do for some time. Jean treated all of us to a rather extended discussion of her all-time and/or current favorite samplers. It also became obvious during the video that she has a bad case of startitis. I hope you enjoy hearing Jean talk about her favorite subject. In addition, remember that tomorrow and Friday I’m at Sassy Jacks for the Bathya workshop with Nicola Parkman. Watch for more interviews and videos. Sunday’s guest: Vonna joins me to interview Jacob deGraaf of Modern Folk Embroideries. There will also be a discount on his designs.–Gary
