Cover image of the Inspirations 100th issue.

There is no dispute that Inspirations is the world’s most beautiful needlework magazine with every issue showing some of the most beautiful needlework designs available to stitchers today. Editor Susan O’Connor has been with the magazine for all 100 issues. She joins us this week to talk about the magazine’s history, what’s involved in assembling each issue, and some of the great designers who contribute to Inspirations. It’s a magazine that every needleworker should receive and our conversation with Susan will help you understand why.–Gary and Christine

Fiber Talk with Gay Ann Rogers

Elizabeth I by Gay Ann Rogers

Talented needlework designer Gay Ann Rogers is our guest this week. Known throughout the hobby for consistently delivering outstanding designs such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Catherine the Great, the Downton Abbey geometric series, a number of striking original samplers, and the sophisticated Echoes I and II, Rogers has had a storied career in the needlework hobby. As you would expect, talking with her is as engaging as stitching her designs and we had a terrific and wide-ranging conversation. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Gay Ann Rogers and encourage you to watch for her upcoming “The Last Queen” design.–Gary and Christine
