Hannah Arnold creates new embroidery designs in a beautiful building her husband built entirely of reclaimed materials. In this week’s show, sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America, we learn about that she shed and the inspirational environment it provides and how Hannah transitioned from a career as a physical therapist to full-time embroidery designer and teacher. Hannah has a unique approach in that she provides her instructions as videos instead of written word. She has a fascinating second aspect of her business. She stitches bespoke replicas of wedding bouquets to provide brides with long-term memories and to challenge her stitching skills. She has a unique style and puts a much-needed focus on young stitchers. Visit her website to learn about upcoming classes.–Gary

We’re at the point where the weekend is visible, so Beth and Gary fired up the Internet software to talk about things. We spent a lot of time talking about articles in the June 2025 issue of “Needle Arts,” EGA’s official publication. Mainly we gushed about Jessica Grimm and the amazing work she does in the world of medieval embroidery (acupictrix.com). There will be a test so you’ll need to know the differences between Opus anglicanum, Opus cyprense, and Opus romanum. We also talk about the America’s Tapestry project (americastapestry.com), Beth’s Quaker drum, and the “Quaker Samplers” book by Lesley Wilkins (Search Press). Buy it. You’ll be glad you own it. Other topics include our upcoming Tour de France shows (more about Jessica), and all of the things we’re doing on Patreon (subscribe at patreon.com/FiberTalk). Sunday’s guest: Hannah Arnold, Sherwood Forest Embroidery–Beth and Gary

One way the needlework world will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary is the America’s Tapestry project. This week we talk to Stefan Romero, creator and driving force behind the project. America’s Tapestry involves original art that tells mostly unknown stories about how people in the 13 colonies contributed to the Revolutionary War effort. The art will be stitched by local EGA Guilds and other groups of stitchers in the 13 states. In our conversation with Stefan, we learn how the project came to be, what’s involved in creating these pieces of needle art, and how stitchers from across the country can participate. At about the 50-min. mark, Stephan describes the 13 panels and the stories they tell. For audio listeners, there is a slide show of the 13 panels on the page for this podcast. This is a terrific project. If you want to help in any way, write to Stefan at [email protected]. As we approach the 250th anniversary, make plans to see the finished display.–Gary

We’re making buttons this week with our guest Gina Barrett of Gina-B Silkworks. Actually, we’re exploring all types of passementerie with a very talented designer and author. Her start was making buttons in the costume world. That beginning blossomed into a business that offers passementerie supplies for a wide variety of techniques, a long list of books and instruction manuals, TV shows, and classes and workshops. If you’ve never made Dorset or thread-wrapped buttons, now is the time to give it a try. You may get addicted and want to try your own button-a-day challenge.–Beth and Gary
