Fiber Talk with Kurdy Biggs

This week’s guest is counted-canvas needlepoint designer and teacher Kurdy Biggs. Her design company is Threedles. Kurdy’s designs are inspired by her love of unique stitches, threads, color, and beading, with an emphasis on learning new stitches and creating unique projects. She has been stitching for nearly forty years and has progressed through counted cross-stitch and embroidery, settling on counted (canvas) needlework because of the large variety of results she can achieve. She teaches classes throughout the year at local needlepoint guilds and needlepoint shops. Her La Mision–Concepcion design earned the Hilton Stitch Award at the ANG 2016 New Orleans Seminar.
