Yvette Stanton, of Vetty Creations, returns for a fun and informative conversation about whitework (obviously), color work (yes, she uses color threads), and several of her books. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and the Embroiderers Guild of America (egausa.org). In the show, we talk quite a bit about Yvette’s upcoming book, “Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland,” which will be available in Australia soon and in the rest of the world in a couple of months. Watch Yvette’s YouTube videos to see several of the projects that are in the new book. We also learn some history about the roles of various whitework techniques in costumes and other clothing. It’s always a treat to talk with Yvette and we hope you enjoy the conversation.–Beth and Gary

Jane Ellen Balzuweit is our guest this week and EGA is sponsoring the show. We learned about the talented Jane Ellen through the lead article by Sandra L. Gordon in the Dec. 2020 issue of EGA’s “Needle Arts” magazine. After reading the article, we simply had to talk to this talented needle-art designer and teacher. While she is skilled in several techniques, including stumpwork, it’s whitework that gets her heart racing and her design work is absolutely terrific. This week you’ll also hear the story about the one time in her life Gay Ann Rogers stitched on linen. Join us for a fun conversation with one of our hobby’s truly delightful artists.–Beth and Gary

Owl blackwork design by Jen Goodwin.Reverse blackwork design by Jen Goodwin.
Blackwork is our topic this week, the Embroiderers Guild of America is sponsoring the show, and our guest is accomplished embroiderer and blackwork artist, Jen Goodwin of Jen Goodwin Embroidery. We had a delightful time talking with Jen and learning about her supportive parents, experiences with the Royal School of Needlework, and her own embroidery business. We also got to be jealous of her inspirational studio and work environment with several other artists in a repurposed flour mill that dates to the 1700s. On top of that, we discussed blackwork techniques in some depth and learned about her new book, “Blackwork Embroidery.” We’re confident you will enjoy the conversation and encourage you to visit Jen’s website and to join the EGA.–Beth and Gary
