The show is sponsored by Avlea Folk Embroidery and the new Folk Flourishes kits. Joana is a long-distance runner, scientist, and a cross-stitch designer who loves converting cross stitches into science-themed designs. In our conversation we learn about her origins in Portugal, moving to Canada, doing PhD research on pilot-whale behavior, and how she became a cross-stitch designer. She creates beautiful, approachable designs that stitchers at all skill levels will enjoy. After you enjoy our conversation, be sure to check out her Etsy shop to explore her creations.–Gary
