Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 5-16-18

It’s Wednesday and the chatting resumes, this time with The Twisted Stitcher, Vonna Pfeiffer, who is filling in for Christine. We covered a lot of ground including what Gary and Vonna are stitching, switching from cross stitch to needlepoint, buying large quantities of linen and thread, and Stitch Mania and the Internet in general and what they mean for the hobby. We also discuss the Sarah Braizear SAL. Did Vonna cave? Is she going to stitch Sarah Braizear? Sunday’s guest: Caroline Hauffe, Off The Grid Needlearts.–Gary and Christine
