The shortest day (Friday night) of the 2019 Nashville Market has come to an end. Designers were busy and I was only able to record two videos. The first was with Kathy Barrick in which we get to see her two new stockings in addition to other designs. The other was with Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor. Karen is offering a number of small and large designs, including Flowers of the Seasons, Christmas Quilts, and the impressive 101 Alphabets.
Today’s show is definitely different and a bit of an experiment. Gary and Vonna are devoting the entire show to some of the new designs being offered at the Nashville Market, March 1 to 3. While you can certainly simply listen to the podcast and get plenty out of it, we’re accompanying this show with a slide show of some of the designs we like and want to talk about. To see those designs while we talk about them, go to the page for this show at wetalkfiber.com. If you click on the slide show on the podcast page, you’ll see a larger version. Arrows on the left and right of each photo allow you to move through the slideshow. We hope you enjoy our discussion and this different format. Please provide feedback about this format so we’ll have a sense of whether it works. Sunday’s guest: Mary Corbet.
We hope you enjoy this week’s conversation. We’re always looking for guests, so let us know if there is someone you’d like us to have on the show.

Here are three more videos from the Nashville Market. For number 10 we visit Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor to see her latest designs, enjoy some previous favorites, and get a peak at an upcoming design.
Video number 11 features Greg Banaszak of Greg’s Turn. He does amazing things with wood, creating stitching furniture every needleworker should own.
Four our 12th video, we visited Elizabeth Foster of Elizabeth’s Needlework Designs to learn about her Nashville Market introductions. Favorites are the Farmer’s Market sign and Delightful Seasons which uses the latest DMC colors.
This week we are excited to have Karen Kluba join us. Karen is the brilliant designer behind the Rosewood Manor brand and all of the beautiful designs it represents. It was a real treat to learn about Karen’s journey from doing Better Homes and Gardens Craft Creations shows to becoming one of the leading cross-stitch designers in the hobby. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Karen Kluba.–Christine and Gary
