News for this week
First Newsflash
A few weeks ago, I listened to the FiberTalk podcast episode with Tanya Bentham, and left a comment to say how much I’d enjoyed it. I had a reply quite quickly from Gary Parr saying “Thank you for your comment. I’ve just been looking at your blog, would you like to be on the podcast yourself?”. It seemed like it would be fun, so I said Yes.
It was fun!
Gary had clearly been rummaging on my blog to find things to talk about, and I think he found some interesting questions to ask. Certainly he gave me a great deal to think about!
You can find the podcast episode here on the FiberTalk website: https://wetalkfiber.com/2025/11/16/stitches-and-stories-with-rachel-wright

Second newsflash
I will be joining the Embroiderers Guild UK on their stand at Knit And Stitch, Harrogate, on Friday morning. I’ll be happy to talk about embroidery in general and Dreams of Amarna in particular, and I will have my pens all ready to sign copies of “Dreams of Amarna – Stitching An Egyptological Adventure”!
Your interview was a delight. I have just finished watching it. Good luck at Harrogate – am sure that will be fun, if hard work.
Looking forward to catching up with your interview later today. Enjoy Friday!
That’s wonderful and good luck at Harrogate on Friday!
Congratulations!
You help promote the interest in embroidery and history at the same time. All your hard work with the project and the book is paying off.
I wish I could be there at Harrogate, but alas…
