Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Chrissie Juno Mann.
Chrissie is a world-class embroiderer and tutor, having graduated from the Royal School of Needlework, and in our NeedleXChange we have a terrific talk about finding creative/work balance, why traditional needlework is still important and that interesting point where a new idea comes creeping into your brain.
