Wonderful interview! Enjoyed it very much, even though I have read it all, hearing Joanne is so enjoyable. Such a good way to share this information with a group who might not be as familiar with this area of study.
Great to hear this! Learbed a lot. Samplers deserve study and erudition as works of art & historic objects. Bravo!
