    Framing Answers with Master Framer David Lantrip

    Framing is our topic this week and our guest is master framer David Lantrip. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America at egausa.org. In our conversation we cover the entire framing process from how you handle your needlework before you take it to the framer, to the conversation you have with the framer at the counter, and then what they do after you leave the shop. We hit on all of the main aspects of framing in the show. If you have additional questions or need clarification, post in the comment section and we’ll do our best to get you answers and/or we’ll do another show to address the topics that come up. We also ask that you make a special effort to share this show with fellow stitchers and like and subscribe.—Cindy and Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube.

    Midweek Chat: Framing, Saving Threads, and Ronnie Rowe Advice

    Our favorite day of the week that begins with W has arrived and we’re talking about when to save stitched thread, how you might do it, and whether it’s worth it. In most cases, we vote no. We also do a heavy tease of Sunday’s show on Framing with David Lantrip, talk about the benefits of EGA and ANG, discuss Ronnie Rowe advice and creativity, and throw In a few other random topics. As always, leave your thoughts and questions in the comments section.

    Needlework Growth and the Impact of Youth

    Trends and the online business aspects of the needlework world are the subjects of this week’s conversation. Our guests are Hayley Albright and Madeline Wrubel of The Stitch Strategy. Hayley and Madeline developed their business to help shops and designers take advantage of today’s online world and to keep up with growth that started with the pandemic and has not slowed. Much of the growth has come from younger stitchers and we devote a good deal of the conversation to understanding what that demographic is looking for and how they are enjoying the hobby outside of traditional channels. We hope you find the conversation enlightening and it gives you a better understanding of where this terrific art form is headed.—Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube.

    Isabella Strambio Publishes Beginner Macrame Book

    Isabella Strambio returns this week to talk about her new book, “The Beginner’s Guide to Macrame. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderer’s Guild of America. This week we feature EGA’s Special Interest Groups, which are available to members and nonmembers. When we first talked with Isabella, Dec. 15, 2024, we learned about her macrame art and her new book at the time, “Mindful Macrame.” In the year that has passed, Isabella has been battling breast cancer. We spend the first 15 min. of the show talking about her journey. I’m pleased to report that she had her mastectomy Feb. 16 and, pending test results, they believe they have removed all of the cancer. After that discussion, we talk about her new book, which will be available in the U.S. March 17. In our conversation, we talk how the books helps beginners and how easy and inexpensive it is to try macrame. For needleworkers who are looking for a diversion/new inspiration, it might be a technique that satisfies your maker instincts. Check out Isabella’s new book and/or her other four books and visit her website for classes and tutorials.—Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube. Click here to view it.

    Holly Jackson Expands Her Horizons

    Holly Jackson, of Flossing in the Moonlight, returns this week. The show is sponsored by Avlea Folk Embroidery at avleafolkembroidery.com. Holly volunteered to record this show because she wanted to talk about the role of psychogeography in her art, the City and Guilds Master Practitioner Program, and her experience so far participating in the No Rules Textile Society collective. All three of these things are influencing her art in different ways. Maybe one or some of them can help you expand your needlework horizons.—Gary Listen to the podcast: Watch the video.

    Midweek Chat: Topics that Might Ruffle Feathers

    It’s Midweek Chat time. This week, Beth and Gary tackle some topics that might be feather-ruffling to stitchers and/or designers, depending on your perspective. The topics are the increasing cost of stitching and whether it really matters, copyright infringement (people do mind-boggling things to save a few bucks), and the back side of stitching (yes, it can matter and it’s definitely worth consideration). Let us know what you think about these topics in the comments section. Sunday’s guest: Holly Jackson, Flossing in the Moonlight—Beth and Gary Listen to the podcast: Watch the video.

    Fiber Talk Canvas: A New Needlepoint Series

    This is the first of a new needlepoint series we’re calling Fiber Talk Canvas. The purpose of this video series (there will be a new video on the third Wednesday of each month) is to help people have success with needlepoint. To accomplish this, our focus will be on counted-canvas needlepoint. In our first show we talk about what we hope to accomplish with the series, stretcher bars and getting a canvas ready for stitching, and the projects we are working on as part of the series. All of the projects we are doing are available for free or can be purchased through some retail outlet, i.e., you don’t need to take a class to do them. We hope you’ll find this series informative and that it will prompt you to give needlepoint a try. Please let us know in the comment section if you have questions, suggestions for future shows, and/or ideas for topics you want covered.—Beth, Cindy, and Gary Links to items discussed in this show: Debbie Rowley’s website, DebBee’s Designs: https://debbeesdesigns.com/ American Needlepoint Guild: https://www.needlepoint.org/default.aspx CyberPointers: https://www.cyberpointers.org/ Anasazi Spirit (Gary’s project): https://stitchplay.com/anasazi-spirit/ Poppers (Beth’s project): https://needledelights.com/product/poppers/ Jeweled Valentine (Cindy’s project): https://www.rainbowgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Jeweled-Valentine.pdf Inchies (Beth’s project back project): https://needledelights.com/product/inchies/ EverTite stretcher bars, Frame Lock corner devices, and tacks: http://www.needlestack.com/WebStore/Accessories/StretcherBars.html Adjust-A-Frame stretcher bars: Send email to adjustaframesales@gmail.com for price list.
