Fiber Talk with Debbie Rowley

Debbie Rowley’s Angles teaching design.

Debbie Rowley is one of the top charted-canvas needlepoint designers in the hobby and it’s always a treat to have a conversation with her. She joins us once again and we talk about trestle needles, the Needle Arts Mystery Retreat, Shining Needle Society, videos, and several other stitching topics. Listeners also have a chance to win a set of Hands Across The Sea greeting cards by helping us make a list of good movies that you can watch while stitching without having to look up all of the time. Suggest your favorite by commenting on the page for this podcast. FlossTube watchers leave your suggestion at wetalkfiber.com, not on YouTube.–Gary and Christine

Fiber Talk with the Needle Arts Mystery Retreat Designers

One of the 2017 NAMR colorways.
One of the 2017 NAMR colorways.

This week we chat with all four of the designers who make the annual Needle Arts Mystery Retreat happen–Pat Hartman, Mary Knapp, Linda Reinmiller, and Debbie Rowley. These four talented ladies collaborate each year to design a piece that is stitched by the retreat attendees in any of four colorways. Our conversation explores how this 13-yr.-old event got started, how it works, the role each designer plays, what attendees learn, and what’s planned for 2018 in San Diego. It’s a fun conversation with four talented needlepoint designers.
