Needlepoint designer Jeannette Tombaugh of Mountain Peaks Studio is our guest this week. The show is sponsored by Cyberpointers and Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Jeanette is a versatile, talented creator of counted-canvas and painted-canvas needlepoint designs, along with stitch guides for painted canvases. She is also the resident canvas expert at A Stitching Shop in Denver. Jeannette teaches extensively and has offered classes through EGA, Cyberpointers, ANG, and NAN. In our conversation, we learn how her self-taught needlework and design skills have evolved, how she uses just about any technique and material that will help tell her design story, and what a day is like for a designer at her level. We also get to hear the story of a sampler collection at a Pennsylvania bed-and-breakfast and how it became a lecture for Jeannette and uncovered a family connection. We also hear the story of her “Beyond the Moon” design, inspired by Clyde Tombaugh, a distant cousin of Jeannette’s husband and discoverer of the planet Pluto. It was great fun talking with Jeannette and we are confident you’ll enjoy the conversation.–Beth and Gary
