Floral Pocket kits by Annette Boland, The Woolen Needle.Hello Summer design by Annette Boland.Wool applique, dyeing wool, and all things related is our focus this week. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and our guest is Annette Boland of The Woolen Needle. A wool applique class Beth did with Annette triggered this conversation. We simply had to know more about the technique and the beautiful wool materials that make it possible. Annette designs wool applique, quilts, hooked rugs, and punch needle art. She also dyes wool, offers some beautiful variegated threads and, in her spare time, runs a shop and teaches classes. No matter what your favorite stitching technique, wool applique will make a fun, creative, diversion when you simply want to try something different. If you’re one of those stitchers who also quilts, Annette has some designs you’re likely to enjoy. It’s a fun conversation with a talented artist and we hope it will show you something different in the needle arts world.–Beth and Gary
