One of the best things in this needle arts world is celebrating a new shop and learning the story behind it. This week that shop is the Fire Poppies Needlework Boutique and the owner, and our guest, is Susan Winter. In our conversation, we’ll answer your first question: Where did the Fire Poppies name come from? The shop will satisfy your favorite stitching technique from cross stitch to counted-canvas needlepoint, hardanger, and surface embroidery. We also talk about the day Susan decided to open a shop, her needlework interests (she’s a full-coverage fanatic), and the wide variety of activities that have already happened and are planned in the coming months (24-hr. pajama parties). We’ll also make you want to travel to Summerville, SC, to spend some time in that beautiful stitching room. Enjoy the show.–Gary

In addition to being a terrific person, Jean was widely known as the owner of The Attic, one of the few true destination needlework shops. Anyone who spent any time with her […]
