The guests they bring on the show come from various areas of the needlepoint industry, providing a diverse range of perspectives and expertise.

The interviews with designers are particularly inspiring, as they offer insights into their creative process and provide valuable tips and techniques.
Another great aspect of The Pointing It Out podcast is its versatility. While it primarily focuses on needlepoint, the hosts also touch upon other related topics such as embroidery, cross-stitch, and tapestry weaving.

Today Melissa of The Wool & The Floss, chats with Jennifer Simonic, co-founder of the Loose Ends Project. The idea for Loose Ends came about when Jennifer and co-founder Masey Kaplan, both avid knitters, realized they had a shared experience: Friends would often ask them to finish blankets, sweaters, or other projects left undone by deceased loved ones. They always do so enthusiastically, understanding what it feels like to wear something a loved one has made. Loose Ends welcomes textile handwork crafters of all sorts, from anywhere in the world. Loose Ends was established in May 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. More information: https://looseends.org.
