Hexefoos Ephrata by Kurdy Biggs.Kurdy Biggs returns after a two-year break to talk about stitching, teaching, and designing. In addition to several tips for everyone, we spend a lot of time talking about several of her designs and how they came to be. In the slide show below and the FlossTube video, I’ve included photos of the designs we discussed. I’m confident you’ll enjoy hearing how these designs were developed and the stories behind them.–Gary

La Mision–Concepcion, the 2016 ANG Hilton Stitch Award design.
We’re still on our holiday break. For people who are new to the podcast, you may not have had a chance to listen to any of our early shows, so we thought we’d share our fifth show with guest Kurdy Biggs. If you’re a regular listener there is a good chance you’ll enjoy a repeat of this information filled conversation with Kurdy. We’ll be back Wednesday with a new midweek show and Needlepoint Now editor and publisher Elizabeth Bozievich returns Sunday to talk about the latest developments with her magazine and the needlework hobby in general.
This week’s guest is counted-canvas needlepoint designer and teacher Kurdy Biggs. Her design company is Threedles. Kurdy’s designs are inspired by her love of unique stitches, threads, color, and beading, with an emphasis on learning new stitches and creating unique projects. She has been stitching for nearly forty years and has progressed through counted cross-stitch and embroidery, settling on counted (canvas) needlework because of the large variety of results she can achieve. She teaches classes throughout the year at local needlepoint guilds and needlepoint shops. Her La Mision–Concepcion design earned the Hilton Stitch Award at the ANG 2016 New Orleans Seminar.
