💜 💜 Podcast On! Episode 93: Welcome and thank you for watching our podcast. We are Barb and Cynthia: sisters, business partners, teachers, and more. In this episode, we share what we've been up to (including some beautiful embroidery and industrious weaving!)
🩷 Barb has been inspired by two books: “Embroidery : A Modern Guide to Botanical Embroidery” by Arounna Khounnoraj and "Embroidery on Knits" by Judit Gummlich.
💚 Cynthia used Briggs & Little Durasport in her first woven blanket: josyarngarden.ca/collections/briggs-little/products/b-l-durasport-smoke
💚 The next woven blanket will use Ancient Arts Heritage yarn: ancientartsfibre.com/collections/heritage-local-alberta-yarn
