Dr. Isabella Rosner | Highlighting Historical Embroidery [NX019]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Dr. Isabella Rosner.

Isabella is a needlework historian, Curator at the Royal School of Needlework and the host of the Sew What? podcast. We have a fantastic conversation and I absolutely love Isabella's combination of Los Angeles attitude and thorough passion for historical needlework. She is the Yin to my Yang.
