REPOST: Fiber Talk with Deb Jochim

NOTE: This is a repost of the Aug. 4, 2019 show. Due to a file uploading error, some podcast apps did not pick up the podcast. Here’s hoping this repost fixes things. Sorry for the hassle. Gary

Our guest this week is Deb Jochim, owner and editor of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher magazine. This week’s show is sponsored by The Attic Needlework shop in Mesa, AZ, where samplers rule. Our conversation with Deb explored how the magazine got started, what Deb is doing with it today, Deb’s stitching and design work, and Vonna’s finishing contributions. It’s a good look behind-the-scenes of a terrific magazine created by a talented needleworker. We hope you enjoy the show.–Gary and Vonna

Fiber Talk with Brenda Côté

Brenda Côté is a prolific and talented needle artist, skilled needlework finisher, and a terrific blogger. Her Brenda’s Needlepoint Studio blog is a treasure trove of information and tips and a great place to simply ogle beautiful stitching. I’ve followed her for some time now and enjoy every post. I also enjoyed talking to her for this week’s show. Our conversation covered a wide range of needlepoint and needle arts topics. I hope you enjoy hearing from an interesting and talented stitcher.–Gary
