Fiber Talk with Diane L. Murtha

Diane’s new book is available now.
Art quilt by Diane L. Murtha.

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

Fiber Talk with Jane Dunnewold

View of the Harbor by Jane Dunnewold

As a needleworker, Jane Dunnewold doesn’t fit in any clear-cut technique category. Where she does fit is in that group of textile artists who will use just about any material or technique to express a vision. To some degree, her needlework pales in comparison to her contributions as an educator. In this week’s show, sponsored by Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery (avlea.life), we have the pleasure of discussing Jane’s needlework endeavors and digging deep into her educational efforts, particularly her work focused on helping people identify and develop their creative skills through her Creative Strength Training program. Be sure to enjoy her new Facebook Live series, “The Cornerstones of Creativity.” It airs every Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on her Facebook Channel. We hope this week’s conversation gets your creative juices flowing.–Gary and Beth

Fiber Talk with Jessica Grimm

Goldwork by Jessica Grimm
Since we last talked with her, Jessica Grimm has been through a significant transition from needlework designer/teacher to textile artist. She joins us this week to talk about that transition, her new view of what she does, and how she’s presenting it to the “outside” world. We also discuss needle-art teaching, exhibitions, and Jessica’s time teaching embroidery in China. She’s always engaging and this show is no different. I’m confident you’ll enjoy the discussion.–Gary
