It’s the middle of the week and we decided we wanted to get together and talk about needlework. It’s an hour of us yakking at each other about Coni Rich, our Tess and Thorn conversation, Nicola Parkman and reproduction samplers, Gary’s stocking project and cross stitching, Christine’s early needlepoint experiences, Mary Corbet and linen quality, Gay Ann Roger’s new design, Shepherd’s Bush stockings, and Arlene Cohen’s Flosstube videos. We hope you enjoy our ramblings.–Gary and Christine

This week we have the pleasure of talking with Brooke Thorn McGowan and Tess Nagle, the talented needlepoint designers who make up Tess and Thorn. Tess and Brooke describe themselves as “young bloods on a stitching mission.” We had a riveting conversation about how they got started, their approach to stitching, inspirations and deeper meaning behind their canvases, and their ongoing efforts to introduce younger people to needlepointing. We also got to learn about their design and canvas-painting process and how they work together from two locations.These are two talented and enthusiastic ladies who are definitely injecting young blood into the hobby.–Christine and Gary
