Last night, we had a terrific conversation with Tricia Nguyen of Thistle Threads (thistle-threads.com) about 17th Century whitework samplers. The show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com). If you weren’t able to join us live, make some time to enjoy the recording. Those samplers and the people who stitched them were fascinating.
