We’ve arrived, once again, at that day that falls in the middle of the week and we’re offering up more stitching chat. Among this week’s topics are Gary and his Anasazi Song project, Michelle Garrette’s Alzheimer’s Awareness fund raising, Nicola Parkman’s sampler history story, beginning and ending threads, and Christine’s fabric-dying efforts. Sunday’s guest: Carole Lake–Gary and Christine

Signing our needle art is really a part of the art. I always stitch the year and my initials in my pieces. One designer had suggested that I use the same colors as the background fabric, or place it in the design itself. I like the idea of putting a narrative with the piece for others to know what was going on while the piece was being stitched.
