In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Elizabeth Reese, Associate Manager of Marketing at Woodlawn & Pope Leighey House which is home to America's longest running needlework competition.

Woodlawn is a unique historic site connected to George Washington and features both a federal-style mansion and a Frank Lloyd Wright house. The Needlework Show, which is in its 61st year, invites needleworkers from all over the country and internationally to submit their work for display and judging.
