Fiber Talk with Emily Tull

And Her Cheeks Were As Pink as Blossoms by Emily Tull.
Woman with a Fish by Emily Tull.

Emily Tull is one of those unique artists who uses embroidery to raise the overall level of her art. Her focus these days is faces and she is in the middle of an ongoing quest to create, with thread and a variety of ground-cloth materials, the best expression of what she sees in her mind. Though a skilled oil painter, she wanted more out of her art and needle and thread provided the look and expression she wanted. It’s always fun to explore the mind of a true artist and the conversation with Emily was a terrific ride. After you enjoy the conversation, be sure to visit her website and Instagram pages to enjoy her creations.–Gary

Fiber Talk with Ruth Miller

Ruth Miller self portrait.
Ruth Miller of Embroidered Realism joins us this week. Ruth’s life-sized embroidered artwork is breathtaking and the thought process behind it will give you a new appreciation for how a true artist expresses her thoughts with needle and thread. Ruth uses Paternayan wool yarn to bring a drawing to life. But the portrait is only part of the art. Every piece has a story behind it and Ruth tells that story with the various elements that surround and integrate with the portrait. After you listen to the podcast, we encourage you to visit Ruth’s website, watch the videos, and explore her art. It will be an uplifting and inspiring experience.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-17-21

One of Beth’s WIPs.

The calendar says it’s Wednesday, so we chatted. We talked a lot about WIPs, cooked up an old-school sampler project (feel free to join us), discussed the benefits of Gary volunteering at a needlepoint shop, and considered the benefits of practicing needlepainting and other techniques to develop skills without the commitment of a project. Join us tonight for Stitch Hour. Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack will join us for another episode of Thread Talk. Tonight’s subject will be selecting the right silk threads for your linen thread count. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Kathy Andrews.–Beth and Gary
