Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 2-26-20

Just Stitching Along design finished by Vonna.

Vonna and Gary are doing the chatting this week and Sassy Jacks is sponsoring the show. Topics include all of our upcoming events/SALs, breaking down the Agnus Dei chart so it will be finished by Easter, bike riding, charted-canvas needlepoint, linen preparation, rotary cutters, and whatever else fell out of our heads. Join us Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Eastern for a live Stitch with Vonna show on our YouTube channel and don’t miss our Sunday show with Megan Chriswisser, editor of Needlework Retailer magazine.–Vonna and Gary

I grinned when Vonna talked about people yelling at her when on her bike. My dad owned a bike shop. He started part time while working at GE. He would ride his bike to work in the rush hour traffic and ended up in the middle of a multiple car accident in 1978. After that he did some research and decided to start carrying Bell helmets in the store. Of course we had to wear them. If you want to hear people yell comments try wearing the original red and white Bell helmet in 1978-9. The most memorable one was the people blowing duck calls at us. I think my mom would have done some serious injury if she could just have gotten her hands on them!

I am enjoying your shows! Keep up the good work!
