Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 10-23-19

Janice Green’s banding sampler display.
It’s Wednesday, that day that causes us to calculate how much weekend stitching time lies ahead. Vonna and Gary gather for another chat and Sassy Jacks Stitchery provides the all-important sponsorship. This week’s topics include our sampler projects on banding, Janice Green’s band samplers (see sideshow below), Gary’s inability to remember fundamentals, Peacemaker needles, NPI silk and silk in general, Susan Crowder Cyr’s gift to Gary, Hardwicke Manor hoops, It’s Mike’s Turn ort bowls, and, of course, the Queen’s Sampler project. Sunday’s guest is Mike Parr.–Vonna and Gary

  1. About the, erm, seat frames (the American term is better not used over here in the UK…) – I had problems with those because using them “side saddle”, as Vonna calls it, most of them didn’t really work very well for me because of the way they tilt (or rather, don’t tilt). And I can’t use them the other way because I tend to wear longish skirts. It wasn’t until I found the multiple-tilting Sonata frame that I could use it from the side, yay! Not sure if links are allowed here, but if anyone else has the same problem I blogged about that frame here: http://mabelfigworthy.co.uk/fof/2018/06/05/taking-a-stand/
    Mine has no hoop attached but will take whatever I clamp in it, and I love it!

  2. Gary and Vonna:
    How do I email a picture to you as another solution to your
    Screwdriver spot recently

    1. At the top of this webpage there is a tab that says: contact
      Our emails are located there 🙂
      Thanks for listening!

  3. Loved your show! Ordered and received the hardwicke manor hoop that Vonna bought and am completely thrilled with it😊

    1. Glad you like the shows and thanks for listening. I ordered on of those hoops, too. Glad to hear that you like yours because, as hoops go, they aren’t cheap.

  4. I have to say that Fiber Talk made me do it! I have received the banding and another Bristol Samplers to stitch along with both of you. I also just finally gave in and bought a Hardwicke Manor hoop and some twill tape to wrap it from Sassy Jacks of course. Can’t wait to receive it.
    I have used piece maker needles before, but lately I have tended to the Bohin.
    As for needles going missing on the floor -my kids learned early as I also quilt, to wear shoes.
    Love the show and the amazing work you do with this!

    1. Outstanding! Have fun.
      Gary
