Fiber Talk with Patricia Goodson

Arlene Cohen designed it an Pat Goodson stitched it as a gift to her.

Patricia Goodson is our guest this week as we welcome our new sponsor, Fat Quarter Shop. Visit them at fatquartershop.com for all of your stitching needs. Our guest is a multi-faceted needle artist who learned how to stitch while she was growing up in Brazil. This week, in addition to learning about her needlework skills, we get some advice about how to maximize our stitching time, improve concentration/focus, eliminate stress and pain, and make the most of our limited stitching time. Pat also regularly stands to stitch and explains the various benefits she’s realized from that approach. You’ll be a better stitcher at the end of this show.–Gary

Fiber Talk with Ilke Cochrane

Resurrection Box design by Ilke Cochrane

Ilke Cochrane is the Fiber Talk Sunday guest this week. Ilke is owner of Mabel Figworthy’s Fancies, based in the UK. It was through monthly lessons with Ilke that Gary was first exposed to Hardanger needlework. While most of her time is spent on Hardanger designs, Ilke also creates designs for cross stitch, blackwork, Assisi, Shisha embroidery, surface/freestyle embroidery, and gold work. In addition, she is an active teacher and a “sucker for specialty threads, particularly silks.” Ilke is a tremendous and versatile needle artist and it was a treat talking with her about her needlework efforts. It was also fun to learn the original of her company name.–Gary

“Encore” Fiber Talk with Terri Bay

This podcast originally aired in February 2018. This is an encore presentation of a very enjoyable conversation Terri Bay of Terri Bay Needlework Designs about whitework, blackwork, hardanger, Lotus boxes, and Romanian point lace. Most of Terri’s designs are Ukrainian in their genesis, but she is starting to add other techniques, such as blackwork. She also enjoys Hardanger, samplers with specialty stitches, and is a fiber addict. We hope you enjoy this encore podcast with Terri Bay.–Christine and Gary

Fiber Talk with Terri Bay

Whitework, blackwork, Hardanger, Lotus boxes, and Romanian point lace are just some of the topics we cover with this week’s guest Terri Bay of Terri Bay Needlework Designs. Terri began stitching in her early 20s while working in a day care center to earn money for college. She needed something to do while the children were napping and a coworker gave her a cross-stitch pattern. Her journey into Ukrainian Whitework began when she inherited a partially finished table runner from her aunt. After several years of developing her needlework skills, she finally finished the runner and was hooked on whitework and whitework design. Most of her designs are Ukrainian in their genesis, but she is starting to add other techniques, such as blackwork, into them. She also enjoys Hardanger, samplers with specialty stitches, and is a fiber addict. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Terri Bay.–Christine and Gary

We’re back for another Wednesday chat. Christine is traveling for the paying job so Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers was kind enough to fill in. In addition to samplers ;), we talk about bead storage, Yvette Stanton’s next book and recognition for her work, and Nicola’s upcoming travels to the U.S. It’s a fun conversation, so haul out your favorite project and start listening and stitching.–Gary and Christine
