Fiber Talk with Patti Hoffmann

Canvas stitched by Patti Hoffmann

Patti Hoffmann, owner of the Stitch-Stash needlework shop in Rehoboth Beach, DE, joins us this week. Her shop has been open just a few months and we get to learn what it’s like to start a local-needlework store from scratch, how she decided on the type of needlework she offers, inventory decisions, location, and how she sees her shop growing in the future. It’s an interesting look behind the scenes with an owner who appears to have all the right pieces in all the right places. We hope you enjoy the conversation.–Gary and Christine

Fiber Talk with Nancy Lukoskie

A challenging Fancywork Finishing kneeler project at Bruton Parish.

Master needlepoint artisan Nancy Lukoskie of Fancywork Finishing joins us this week. Nancy’s passion for the heritage of stitching, ecclesiastical needlepoint design, and finishing began when she was just 19. More than 38 years later, Nancy and her team at Fancywork Finishing have brought beauty and joy to many spiritual communities, including the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C., Trinity Church Manhattan in New York City, and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. Her team of artisans design, paint, finish, and restore needlepoint artwork for clients based upon their ecclesiastic traditions, unique history, and spiritual symbolism. This is needlepoint at its traditional core and we’re confident you’ll enjoy hearing from one of the masters.–Gary and Christine
