Fiber Talk with Nancy Lukoskie II

Nancy’s work on a chair at the Naval Academy.

Master needlepoint artisan Nancy Lukoskie of Fancywork Finishing returns for a second visit this week. Nancy’s passion for the heritage of needlepoint and ecclesiastical needlepoint design, spans more than 40 years. She has been instrumental in creating, reproducing, and restoring needlework art at a number of churches, including the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C., Trinity Church Manhattan in New York City, and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. In the four years that have passed since we last talked with Nancy, she has begun to transition out of doing actual needlework/restoration and is reconfiguring her business to help educate others about the art and craft. We enjoyed learning about her experiences and what her new business format will offer to needle artists.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Nancy Lukoskie

A challenging Fancywork Finishing kneeler project at Bruton Parish.

Master needlepoint artisan Nancy Lukoskie of Fancywork Finishing joins us this week. Nancy’s passion for the heritage of stitching, ecclesiastical needlepoint design, and finishing began when she was just 19. More than 38 years later, Nancy and her team at Fancywork Finishing have brought beauty and joy to many spiritual communities, including the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C., Trinity Church Manhattan in New York City, and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. Her team of artisans design, paint, finish, and restore needlepoint artwork for clients based upon their ecclesiastic traditions, unique history, and spiritual symbolism. This is needlepoint at its traditional core and we’re confident you’ll enjoy hearing from one of the masters.–Gary and Christine
