Fiber Talk with Jen Simonic


Listen Later

Loose Ends was created by Masey Kaplan (l) and Jen Simonic (r).
Beate’s dad received the finished sweater on his 99th birthday.

Loose Ends is a difference-making venture and our guest this week is co-founder Jen Simonic. The show is made possible by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. When people who do needlework and other forms of textile art and pass away or become incapacitated, Loose Ends can be there to finish the needlework project, knit the rest of the sweater, crochet the unfinished afghan, or make the top into a warm quilt that comforts those left behind. Even better is that you can volunteer to finish a piece for someone who is on the sad end of a life event. After you hear the story of Loose Ends, go to their website, download the information material, and share it in your community. Then sign up to be a finisher and become a bright spot for someone who is experiencing loss.–Beth and Gary
