The Caroling Berries collection by Erica Michaels.Her name is Linda Stolz, her business is Erica Michaels Needleart Designs, she’s our guest this week, and you need to stitch a basket full of her Berries designs. Linda learned needlework and sewing the conventional way, from her mother and grandmother, and never stopped. It was a stint working at a local needlework store that put her on the path to needleart design. In the conversation, we talk about how she develops her designs, her Berries and Patriotic series, petite designs, stitching on silk gauze, and her Train a Dog, Save a Warrior fundraising efforts. We’re confident you’ll enjoy our conversation with one of the true talents in the needlearts hobby.–Gary and Christine
