• Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 5-28-25

  The day between Tuesday and Thursday has arrived so we seized the opportunity to talk about needlework. This week’s topics include a drawing to win one of two Immaculate Heart kits from Clara Warschauer of clarastitching.com. The kits are for her free workshop on June 21. We explain how to enter the drawing in the show (yes, you have to listen). We also talk about the list of items we’re posting for Patreon members (subscribe at patreon.com/FiberTalk), Dorset and wrapped buttons, fast fashion and the impact it’s having at several levels, Nicola Jarvis’ “Life in Seasons” book (you want this book), and a couple of schedule changes.

• Fiber Talk with Rebecca Noland of Lucy Beam

  Becky Noland of Lucy Beam joins us this week. We learn about dumpster diving with grandma to acquire fabrics, how Becky moved from interior design to creating cross stitch charts, and her addiction to buying antique samplers. Fortunately for us, she thoroughly enjoys reproducing those samplers. Look for an Adam and Eve sampler this summer. Becky and Sylvia Stecker of Running with Needles and Scissor will be teaching classes for the inaugural Sampler University, which is part of the EGA National Seminar. In this week’s conversation, we talk about the sewing roll project Becky designed for the event. You’ll do the stitching ahead of time and the class will involve finishing the stitching into the sewing roll so you’ll have a completed piece when you head home from Dallas. All of the information is at egausa.org in the Events section.–Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube. Click here to view it.

• Fiber Talk with Elizabeth Sullivan

  This week we travel to Australia to visit with Elizabeth Sullivan and explore the outstanding art she creates with her intuitive stitching approach. Elizabeth defines intuitive stitching as spontaneous, no plan, no predetermined design, no rules, and learn as you go. She also tells herself to embrace mistakes and not be perfect. The end result of this technique is abstract needle art that will captivate you and cause your eyes to explore the nuances of each piece. It’s an inspiring approach to creating needle art and Elizabeth is superb at it. After you enjoy our conversation, visit her website and Instagram account to follow and enjoy her stellar art.–Beth and Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube.

• Fiber Talk with Jessica Kemper, Field Guide Embroidery

  Embroidery artist Jessica Kemper of Field Guide Embroidery is our guest this week. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and the EGA Sampler U. Register in the Events section at egausa.org. Jessica Kemper loves the outdoors and has found a way to marry that love with embroidery. Her animal designs are the perfect size for embellishing hats, jackets, shirts, and other types of clothing. She also teaches classes, offers kits, and has published a book titled “The Field Guide to Embroidery.” The book is filled with animal designs and instructions so you can stitch your own connection with nature. In the process, you’ll also learn the fur stitch, a Jessica Kemper creation. Also note that 10% of Jessica’s sales are donated to the Sageland Collaborative, an organization that uses “science in the service of wildlife and wetlands.” Keep up with Jessica’s designs through her social media accounts and, while you’re online, join the EGA and register for the EGA National Seminar and Sampler U.–Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube.
