Episode 40 comments:     displaying the 3 most recent Another Wow! This is one of the best ever! The intensity of the young girl trying out redwork and the beauty of Virginia's playing reaches out to the quilters soul, quilting (embroidery etc) spans generations in ways that few other arts can. I enjoyed too and was rather amused that you bought your own work of art back. It's beautiful! Happy Quilting! Teri submitted by littleflower - Oct 31, '06     05:39am Another Great Podcast! Once again, I enjoyed the podcast and look forward to the next. I especially enjoyed seeing you teaching the redwork embroidery to the young girl.

Episode 28 comments:     displaying the 1 most recent Jinny Beyer This is the podcast that I listen to over and over because Jinny is a gal after my one heart. When I began quilting back in the 70's I really wanted to do it by hand but was told 'you need to stay with the times and use your sewing machine'. So sadly I followed that advise but now that I am in MY 70's I's going to follow Jinny's advise and do it by hand. Her new book is fantastic with tons of great information and great ideas for projects to be done by hand or machine. Thank you, Jinny, for taking the time to write this book and thank you, Alex, for having her on your podcast. submitted by Lanita - Nov 11, '06     09:29am post a comment
