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.

The English textile artist Alison Holt uses her imagination to capture landscapes and nature and then weave them into colorful canvases that are often taken for paintings. Alison says: 'Each piece is a combination of silk painting and freehand machine stitching. The painting creates depth, perspective and richness to the work and combines effectively with stitch to give detail and texture.' Her work can be found in private collections around the world and in galleries from London to Sydney.  Alison was born in Oswestry, Shropshire in 1956, the youngest of two girls, to Cyril and Brenda Holt who were garage proprietors. Her father died of a brain tumor when she was just 13 and her mother was left to raise her daughters. Her parents always supported her artistic interests and by the time Alison graduated from Oswestry Girls High School she had only one ambition which was to get into art college. From Shrewsbury Art School she was accepted into the prestigious Goldsmith College in London from where she graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art Textiles, specializing in  Embroidery. By now her talent had already been recognized and she was immediately offered an exhibition and given commissions. She returned to Shropshire and began what was to become a parallel vocation in teaching at Wexham Art College. Alison married in 1993 and worked part time in her studio while raising her two boys Tom and Jonathan. For 40 years now Alison has built her business as a textile artist, which includes writing books about her practice and teaching courses at her home studio throughout the year. Alison lives in Oswestry with her husband John Moses and their dog Bobby.

Today on Stitch Wish Radio, I'm sitting down with the incredible Gabriela Martínez Ortiz—textile artist, embroidery visionary, and the creator of Ofelia & Antelmo. Gabriela's work is this beautiful meeting point between repetition, nature, and intuitive process. We talk about how embroidery became her way of slowing down, finding healing, and reclaiming her artistic voice after leaving the fast-paced world of fashion. Her story is deeply inspiring—woven with themes of lineage, inner knowing, and the slow evolution of craft into purpose.Whether you're an artist, a dreamer, or just feeling your way toward a slower, more intentional life—this conversation is for you.Gabriela's Website: https://ofeliayantelmo.com/en/Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ofeliayantelmoMy New Book, The Art of Embroidery Design https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-art-of-embroidery-design-expand-your-creativity-an[…]l-stitching-designs-christi-johnson/21470337?ean=9781635867664The new pocket altar workshop I mentioned https://mixed-color-school.teachable.com/p/pocket-altar-workshop(00:04:08) Transforming Embroidery into Versatile Textile Art(00:05:52) Intricate Stitch Creations in Embroidery Workshops(00:13:56) Gabriela's Therapeutic Journey Through Embroidery(00:17:44) Embroidery: A Journey to Creative Fulfillment(00:23:43) Embroidery: Connecting through Infinite Stitching Journeys(00:32:01) Organic Patterns: Nature's Influence in Design(00:35:47) Cultural Textile Traditions in Contemporary Embroidery(00:36:44) Organic Patterns: A Visual Exploration

When young Shay Pendray told the head of her school that she wanted to learn to sew, he had a prerequisite: He would give her a lamb, and she would learn to process the wool, spin it into yarn, and weave it into cloth, and then she could learn to sew. It was an extraordinary home ec class, but the administrator in question was Henry Ford. Shay was one of the students in Greenfield Village, a living museum on the grounds of what is now the Henry Ford Museum. Shay has combined curiosity, hard work, good fortune, and a passion for needle arts ever since. Many fiber artists will remember Shay from the Needle Arts Studio with Shay Pendray. Wanting to share her knowledge of needlework, she developed a television series that ran on PBS stations for years. Before finding a national television audience, Shay opened successful needlework shops, studied embroidery in Japan, China, and Britain, and wrote several books. After decades as a business owner, television pioneer, and teacher, Shay finds great joy in sitting down with needlework every day, reveling in the variety of threads, materials, and information available to stitchers. Besides needle arts, Shay's other passion is for horses. She loves to ride her horse in the open spaces of Wyoming, admiring the value of the greens and golds in the landscape. Not long before we spoke, USA Today wrote (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/10/15/85-year-old-michigan-cowgirl-still-drives-cattle-across-wyoming/) about her: “This 85-year-old cowgirl is still herding cattle across Wyoming: ‘We will age together.'” This episode marks the fifth anniversary of the Long Thread Podcast, which was first released in April 2020. I've thought so fondly of this conversation, our first podcast to release, and was excited to revisit it. This episode is brought to you by: Treenway Silks is where weavers, spinners, knitters and stitchers find the silk they love.

Hoops can be used to maintain tension while stitching but also to display the finished work, as I'm doing with my 100 Stitched Circles.  En masse, they make a great installation.  They can be hung from the ceiling or used for 3D embroidery, and they make fantastic wall art incorporating different shapes and sizes.  Join me as I jump through some hoops in today's episode.Show Notes:  https://stitchsafari.com/the-wonderful-wo…hoops-and-frames/100 Stitched Circles: https://www.instagram.com/cathyjackcoupland/

Join me on this examination and inspection of anatomic embroidery as I dissect, audit and review the whys and wherefores along with the artistic evaluation and interpretation of this genre of embroidery.

A couple of years ago I received three pieces of embroidery that used to be the chest pieces of Palestinian dresses. The Palestinian dress is called a 'thob' in Arabic. The person who gave them to me said she had received them from an Israeli woman who had said: “these were from the people who used to live here” As she didn't know what to do with them, she handed them to me. I also didn't know what was the best thing to do so I asked a Palestinian friend who is a designer and knowledgeable about Palestinian heritage. She then referred me to the Palestinian Heritage Museum in Jerusalem where I met with Bahaa Jubeh, the curator.In this first episode you will learn more about the museum as we take a tour of the ground floor that focuses on all kinds of heritage objects such as pottery, straw items, copper pots, metal objects and agricultural tools. The audio quality of this episode is not studio quality as we recorded it in the rooms of the museum that produced quite a bit of echo. The second episode that I will upload is a tour of the upper floor of the museum where we focus on the history of the traditional Palestinian thobs and embroidery. Find out more about the Palestinian Heritage Museum:https://dartifl.org/Facebook: @palestinianheritagemuseumInstagram: @dta_palestinianheritagemuseumConnect to Stories from Palestine on social media, sign up for the newsletter, read more about traveling to Palestine and if you can, please support the podcast on Ko-fi.
