Passiflora in stump work by Jenny Adin-Christie.

Moving day is tomorrow. We’ll be in our new place Wednesday and Fiber Talk will be back to our regular full schedule Wednesday, June 16 with Gary and Beth doing the podcast and Carrie Noess demonstrating needle lace during the Stitch Hour. This week, enjoy an encore presentation of the conversation Gary had with the remarkable Jenny Adin-Christie. Since we recorded the conversation, she’s done some amazing needlework. Follow her on Instagram to see some of it.

Here’s the original podcast: This week I’m joined by Jenny Adin-Christie. She is a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework and a veteran teacher at the school. Her primary needlework efforts these days involve creating her own designs and teaching all over the world, along with regular classes in her own studio. She also is a regular contributor to Inspirations magazine. Most of her work involves various combinations of whitework, stumpwork, and goldwork. Enjoy my conversation with one of the standout talents in the needle-arts community.–Gary

Fiber Talk with Di van Niekerk

Wish You Were Here from the Box Full of Lessons series.

We travel to South Africa this week to learn about ribbon embroidery from Di van Niekerk, one of the world’s leading experts. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Di van Niekerk takes ribbon-embroidery art to a new level. Her ability to add dimension and realism to painted scenes is flat out amazing. She has authored 14 books on needle-art techniques, in addition to her “Box Full of Lessons” series, has created her own line of silk ribbons specifically dyed to deliver natural colors that are needed in ribbon embroidery, and travels internationally to teach and lecture. For variety, she also does stumpwork and needle painting. Enjoy the show and be sure to visit her website, dicraft.com, to enjoy her many offerings.–Gary
