An Interview with the Royal School of Needlework Staff

Fiber Talk's most recent podcast as I type this is with Susan Kay-Williams and Kelley Aldridge of the Royal School of Needlework.  The interview is all about the challenges the Royal School is facing with the coronavirus disrupting classes.  If you want to explore more about the Royal School, follow the links on the Fiber Talk web page.

Tapestry (which is what we Americans call needlepoint) is popular in the UK these days, for the reasons you'd expect.

A New Podcast from The Wool and the Floss

The Wool and the Floss has started a podcast.  It's called Pointing It Out! and it is available on YouTube.  Here's the first video I found, an interview with Mary Legallet, famous needlepoint teacher and author of Mary's Whimsical Stitches.

Breaking News: Amy Bunger Closing Shop in 2021

The latest newsletter from Amy Bunger is out and it has big news—Amy is closing her shop in Memphis next year (2021).  We don't know yet what this means beyond the fact that the shop will no longer be there.  It sounds as if Amy plans to still do Home Study classes and stitch guides.  We'll have to wait and see how things unfold.

Everything changes and of course Amy may want to retire to have time to smell the roses—and stitch all the fun things around!  Whatever happens, we wish Amy the best.
