Fiber Talk with Jeannette Tombaugh

Fiber Talk

Beyond the Moon by Jeannette Tombaugh.

Dreaming by Jeannette Tombaugh.

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
