Fiber Talk Friday Night Live, 9-18-20

Please support our sponsor, Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery.

It’s Friday and it’s a stitching night. Gary worked feverishly on Royal Garden and Jenifer worked in a more sane fashion on From Dawn to Dusk. Gather your favorite project, a beverage, and questions (if you have them), for an hour of needlework and conversation.
