Rollups that Susan designs for storing finished or unfinished needlework.

Cross stitching and samplers are our subject this week with our guest, Susan Greening Davis. Susan is a needle artist/technician who has designed and taught for shops, guilds, and events for more than 40 years. She has studied in Denmark, England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and with the Danish masters who visited the United States.

Davis was the Education Chairman for the International Needlearts Retail Guild for four years and, in her career, has chaired several panels, lectures, and charitable events to promote needlearts education. She is a “hands on” teacher, who can teach left-and right-handed students. Susan was named DMC International Teacher of the Year.

Projects on display at The Wool and The Floss

This week we talk about local needlework shops with Melissa MacLeod of The Wool and The Floss in Grosse Point, MI, and Kim Young of Sassy Jack’s Stitchery in Weaverville, NC. Local needlework stores are the lifeblood of our hobby because they provide a place in which stitchers can see and touch threads, look at project samples, get expert advice, take classes, and meet fellow stitchers. In recent years, many shops have had to close their doors. This week we talk to two people who are opening shops, to learn what they are doing and what they have planned for future growth. Melissa MacLeod recently purchased a long established shop, remodeled, and is now offering her version of a needlepoint and knitting business. Kim Young is rapidly building a following and a destination shop for stitchers. We hope you enjoy hearing how these two owners are working to build their businesses.–Christine and Gary
