Fiber Talk at the Nashville Market VIII

In Nashville Market video 20 Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers gives us a tour of her latest designs, which include a couple of which contain some rather fancy cows, a very attractive tart, and the first two sets of a series of ornaments.

In our 21st video from the Nashville Market, Julia Snyder of & More share their line of products including painted needlepoint canvases, cross-stitch designs, threads, books, a hook-and-loop canvas mounting method, and what looks to be a terrific LED lamp.

In video 22 we meet Ronnie Rowe of Ronnie Rowe Designs and are treated to a tour of his fascinating cross-stitch designs. He does a terrific job of delivering subjects in a dimensional style that has much of the depth/dimension of photographs.

In video 23 we visit AnnaLee Waite of AnnaLee Waite Designs and are treated to her many designs including a burlap bag kit, a sampler, and several small designs, including a boy/girl bunny pair.

It’s time for more Nashville Market videos. Video 14 is with designer Crisanne Tellin of Tellin Emblem. Her still-life-based art offers a unique approach to cross-stitch design.

Painted-canvas designer Raymond Crawford of Raymond Crawford Designs joins us for video 16 to show his latest series of Grinch canvases, along with many of his all-time favorites.

Fiber Talk with Amy Poore

The Be Mine design that started A Poore Girl Paints.

This week’s guest is Amy Poore, needlepoint designer and owner of A Poore Girl Paints Needlepoint Designs. Amy acquired the needlepoint virus from a customer at a nail salon and rapidly progressed from stitcher to designer and producer of creative painted canvases. The real catalyst was her husband, who told her to “get a hobby.” Oops! We have a terrific discussion with Amy about her stitching and design interests and about the needlepoint hobby in general. She’s an exciting contributor to the hobby and is working hard to help attract younger stitchers. Join us this week to learn more about one of the up-and-coming stars in the stitching world.–Christine and Gary

Fiber Talk with Mary Legallet

Mary Legallet’s stitch guide for Zecca’s Royal Peeps canvas.
Mary Legallet joins us this week to talk about a variety to topics, including her stitching career, Whimsical Wednesdays, Small Space Sundays, stitch guides and stitch concepts, and TV we all watch while stitching.

Mary has been needlepointing since high school, but a visit to Needlepoint Inc. in San Francisco in the mid-1990’s revealed decorative stitches and diverse thread choices that captured her imagination, and sparked a new, even deeper love for the craft. She then had the good fortune of learning under the tutelage of Beverly Churchfield and the late Wendy Harwood at Aristeia in Brentwood (now in Santa Monica).

Creating whimsical designs and cultivating a crisp, clean style all her own became not only a passion, but also a refuge. After a 25+ year career in advertising and corporate marketing, Mary chose to focus her life’s second chapter on needlepoint. She created whimsicalstitch.com to share the joy she finds in every new needlepoint project, stitch technique, and even the threads.

Fiber Talk with Preston and Grace of Two Sisters Needlepoint

Designs for small, useful objects are one way Preston and Grace appeal to young stitchers.

Our guests this week are Preston and Grace Lynch of Two Sisters Needlepoint. These ladies lead active lives as full-time students (Preston in college, Grace in high school) and needlepoint business owners. They are constantly sneaking design time in-between their school obligations and activities and painting canvases whenever time is available to keep up with orders. When they aren’t creating needlepoint designs, they work to promote stitching to young people. We hope you enjoy our conversation with two people who represent the future of our hobby.–Christine and Gary
