This podcast originally aired in February 2018. This is an encore presentation of a very enjoyable conversation Terri Bay of Terri Bay Needlework Designs about whitework, blackwork, hardanger, Lotus boxes, and Romanian point lace. Most of Terri’s designs are Ukrainian in their genesis, but she is starting to add other techniques, such as blackwork. She also enjoys Hardanger, samplers with specialty stitches, and is a fiber addict. We hope you enjoy this encore podcast with Terri Bay.–Christine and Gary

Fiber Talk with Terri Bay

One of Terri Bay’s Lotus box designs.

Whitework, blackwork, Hardanger, Lotus boxes, and Romanian point lace are just some of the topics we cover with this week’s guest Terri Bay of Terri Bay Needlework Designs. Terri began stitching in her early 20s while working in a day care center to earn money for college. She needed something to do while the children were napping and a coworker gave her a cross-stitch pattern. Her journey into Ukrainian Whitework began when she inherited a partially finished table runner from her aunt. After several years of developing her needlework skills, she finally finished the runner and was hooked on whitework and whitework design. Most of her designs are Ukrainian in their genesis, but she is starting to add other techniques, such as blackwork, into them. She also enjoys Hardanger, samplers with specialty stitches, and is a fiber addict. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Terri Bay.–Christine and Gary

Fiber Talk with Yvette Stanton

Biscornu project from Early Style Hardanger.

This week’s guest is Yvette Stanton of Vetty Creations in Sydney, Australia.Considered by many to be the hobby’s leading whitework expert, she has traveled the world to research various whitework techniques and share their origins and how the stitching is still done today. Yvette has written eight books about stitching and we talk about all of them in the podcast, in addition to a variety of other topics. Her newest book, Early Style Hardanger, is a beautiful and knowledge-packed publication that resulted from her research trip to the Hardangerfjord region in Norway where she learned about the very origins of the stitching technique and how the Norwegian stitchers, to this day, produce some of the most beautiful needlework in the world. Please join us this week and learn about the world of whitework stitching.
