The stunning textile art of Lisa Call is our focus this week. Lisa grew up in Colorado in a creative environment. Creativity took a bit of a back seat when she chose computer science for a day job/career. An art museum tour connected her with abstract art and a move to New Zealand has allowed her to fully explore that art form. It’s fascinating to see how she uses the series approach to explore every aspect of a basic design. Equally interesting is how she puts limits on her approach to prevent getting bogged down in distractions. How do you tap into this creativity? Visit Lisa’s Make Big Art website and take a class. She’ll help you expand your horizons.–Gary

The passing of Jean Lea will leave a huge void in the needlework world, particularly for those who love, reproduce, and stitch samplers. In addition to being a terrific person, Jean was widely known as the owner of The Attic, one of the few true destination needlework shops. Anyone who spent any time with her […]
The life of a military wife, living in upstate New York, and the pandemic catalyzed Caroline Gilman’s interest in needlepoint. Our conversation with Caroline is sponsored by Avlea Folk Embroidery and the Fiber Talk Needle Arts Weekend. During those hours in New York, Caroline found her home with painted-canvas needlepoint. It wasn’t long before she […]
