About this episode

Allie Kochinsky speaks with Jessica Chaney about the significance of needlepoint as a traditional craft in today's fast-paced culture.

In this episode of Grandma's Silver , Allie Kochinsky is joined by Jessica Chaney , founder of Lycette Designs , for a conversation on needlepoint as more than just a pastime, but a practice rooted in patience, memory, and home. Together, they explore why this traditional craft is finding new relevance today, and what it offers in a culture that often prioritizes speed and convenience. From heirloom pillows to hand-stitched canvases, needlepoint occupies a unique space, both decorative and personal, shaped as much by the process as the finished piece.
