Bring your knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, or other handicrafts, plus your crafty friends for a cozy afternoon at the movies. Lights will be set so you can see the screen and your skeins! Threading the Needle’s five episodes bring into focus a few of the many talented knitters, quilters, felters and hookers in PEI. Prepare yourself to fight the urge to head to a craft store and begin a journey into the world of needle arts as you discover these colourful, dedicated artists who live and breathe their craft. They are Troy Martin and Linda Stewart (For the Love of Knitting); Martha Deacon (Miniature Rugs and Eighteen Chairs); Janice Brydges and Sue Ann Jay (Braiding and Felting Never Felt so Right); Penelope Player (Crazy Quilting is not for Wimps) ; and Susan Lee Manning, Bettee Young and Shirley Hogan (A Hooker’s Work is Never Done). Non-crafters welcome too. Two of Louise’s other shorts give a glimpse into two PEI summer camps.
