On the wire: Chandra Greer visits Stitched Cards

xoxo

[Chandra Greer] Jeni Shirley owns Stitched Cards, a small company with a large range of amazing stitched cards. She’s growing her little business through word of mouth, inspired collaborations and lots of time spent at her sewing machine. We talked with her about the challenges and triumphs of running a small greeting card company and the meaning behind the little paper-and-thread-enfolded messages winging their way about the world.

Aaron Kenedi: A culinary destination

[Aaron Kenedi] I’m the editor of one of the oldest and most respected design magazines in America, but, in full disclosure, I’m not much of a designer. And while we’re being so honest with each other (I feel safe with you, not sure why), I’m not much of an artist either. Stick figures are about the best I got. I can look at work and know if it’s good or not, but please don’t ask me to design anything for you. We’ll both be better off.
