Ilke Cochrane returns for a fourth visit this week in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. In addition to learning about Ilke’s design and teaching efforts, we have an in-depth discussion about what it’s like to work toward the Royal School of Needlework certificate, how classes are conducted, the amount of work that goes each phase, and how evaluations provide feedback on your work. It’s an insightful discussion that will likely get you excited about taking an RSN course. Enjoy the conversation and be sure to visit Ilke’s website to explore the variety of stitching designs she has to offer.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Ilke Cochrane II

Ilke Cochrane’s Scotland the Brave design

Ilke Cochrane returns for a second visit this week. It’s rather common to talk to guests who have completed some form of education with the Royal School of Needlework. But Ilke is in the early stages of a certificate program, so I was anxious to talk to her and learn what she’s experiencing. Now I really want to take at least a class from the Royal School. We also get to learn about her experiences with a slate frame and more about her various designs. Also, through July, Ilke is offering a discount on her products for Fiber Talk listeners. Here’s how to get your discount: Email Ilke at [email protected] with your order and the code FIBERTALK10. You will get 10% off all chart packs including the Pick & Mix options and the Sets & Series (which are already discounted compared to buying the individual designs), and also 10% off one item from the Kits & Tools section (basically anything physical which has to be posted). Also, there are two links below (or on the Fiber Talk page for this podcast if you are reading this elsewhere. One is an article about her Royal School experiences since we recorded and the other is about her 2020 SAL. Enjoy the 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
