This week we’re talking about passementerie art with Elizabeth Ashdown. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Typically, when passementerie is discussed, the focus is on decorative trimming such as tassels, braids, and fringes. This time, we are taking the discussion to a whole new level because Elizabeth combines passementerie techniques, weaving, and thread dyeing to create a completely new world of textile art. In our conversation, we learn about her journey to develop this art form, how she goes about creating commissioned pieces, her teaching, and The Experimental Weave Lab, a fascinating venture that she hopes to repeat in the future. We also get a small tease of Elizabeth’s upcoming book. Enjoy the show and visit Elizabeth’s website to learn more about her textile-art world.–Beth and Gary

Sassy Jacks Stitchery is sponsoring this week’s conversation with Wendy Lynn, Director of Membership and Marketing for the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Our overall goal in this conversation is to help listeners better understand the depth and breadth of what the EGA has to offer to needleworkers of all ages, skill levels, and technique interests. In other words, it’s not an organization just for surface embroiderers. You’ll also learn that there are several ways to participate in EGA activities, from local chapters to regional organizations to the national level. If you don’t want to join a local chapter or one doesn’t exist nearby, become a member at large. There are also many free offerings to non-members. We hope you’ll enjoy learning more about EGA and what it provides to needleworkers.–Beth and Gary

This week we visit the quilting world and art-quilt designer Diane L. Murtha. In Diane’s creative mind, most quilts aren’t finished until she’s added some beads, embroidery, appliqué, or anything else that might embellish or tell more of the quilt’s story. We learn about her approach to art and creativity and how she doesn’t always concern herself if her points don’t match up. Diane’s new book, “Artful Insights in Fabric, Quilted Bits of Wit and Wisdom,” is also part of the discussion because it further explores her “what if” approach to creating visual experiences through textile art. Enjoy the show and be sure to visit Diane’s website to keep up with her new creations and her teaching and lecturing schedule, including her presentations at Quilt Week, April 26 to 29 at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY.–Beth and Gary
