Kithara Begonia embroidery design, created by Krista West, Avlea Folk Embroidery.Byzantine Rose Ashwood design by Krista West, Avlea Folk Embroidery.This week we are joined by designer Krista West of Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleafolkembroidery.com). But we’re not talking (much) about her designs. Our focus for this conversation is Krista’s design weeks, which are periodic multi-day sessions in which she shuts the world out so she can focus on moving her design work forward. While Krista sets aside entire weeks, the techniques and practices she uses will work for stitchers who are looking for a day/afternoon/couple of hours of uninterrupted/focused needlework time. In the conversation, we learn how Krista prepares for a session and how she stays focused for several days. At the end of the show, you’ll also get a peek at some of the new things coming up from Avlea Folk Embroidery. Make some notes while you’re listening and give Krista’s techniques a try the next time you want to focus on your needlework, or any other project that’s not getting enough attention.—Beth and Gary
