Fiber Talk with Jill Vendituoli

Drought by Jill Vendituoli.
The long Maine winter nights led this week’s guest, Jill Vendituoli, to teach herself needlepoint and develop a unique approach to design, thread, and color use. Her designs are big, bold, beautiful, and make it clear that needlework is not a craft but truly another art form. We are confident you will enjoy this week’s conversation with Jill Vendituoli.–Gary and Christine
