Deep Roots Radio

This is about connecting the dots. Every dollar we spend on food, clothes, health care, recreation, and building materials either supports pollution or clean water, farm worker poverty or economic health, nutrition or empty calories, and humane or cruel livestock conditions. Guests from across the country and around the world describe how we can work for a better, healthier culture, lifestyle, and planet. There is hope. Be the change.

  Small Wisconsin town has new textile & needlework biz with international reach

  Jun 25, 202631 min

  Sometimes you just can't predict when you'll bump into a thriving textile business. Black Cat Stitchery is one of those. Just 18 months in its new storefront, the small space is an expression of quality, creativity and warm welcome. While the store front boasts shelves of needlepoint and cross-stitch linens, original patterns, and must-have notions, the backroom is where owners Theresa Curry and Brian Stugelmayar transform neutral bolts of European linens into hand-dyed fabric for an international market. Each yard is hand-dyed on the premises using environmentally-anchored processes. Enjoy this Deep Roots Radio in-studio chat, and mark your calendars to visit this charming and highly sophisticated shop. Sylvia Burgos Toftness
