Fiber Talk with Candice Williams

Artwork by Candice Williams

Candice Williams is our guest this week and the show is sponsored by Fire Poppies Needlework Boutique. Candice is the sister of Kimberly Ann Carter and new owner of Kimberly Ann Needlepoint. Kimberly passed away this past November, leaving behind a family and a growing painted-canvas needlepoint business. Candice didn’t want that business to go away so she combined her artistic talents and willingness to learn needlepoint (she’s now addicted) to keep the business growing. In this week’s conversation we learn about her rapid movement through a somewhat steep learning curve that has generated excitement for needlepoint and all that the needle arts have to offer. Candice is an exciting new addition to the needlepoint world and it will be fun to see her art expressed through canvas.–Gary
