My new office/stitching space/recording studio has proven to be a success on all fronts. Here is a tour of what I put together. I hope it will give you some ideas if you’re working on creating or changing your stitching space.–Gary

Wednesday seemed like a good day for a conversation about needlework so Jenifer and Gary fired up the microphones to do a complete rundown of how WIPgo works, what attracts us to designs and designers, cleaning up stitching areas, and whether social media has played a role in us having too many WIPs. Mark your calendars for Dec. 8 when Kathy Andrews will share the art stitching she did while battling breast cancer. Sunday: A tour of Gary’s “sanitized” studio.–Jenifer and Gary
We hope you enjoy this show. We’re always looking for guests, so let me know if there is someone you’d like me to have on the show.

It’s been three years since we talked with Kathy Andrews and we had a great time talking needle arts in a show sponsored by Stitchville USA and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. We discussed historic techniques and designs, how they still hold up today, and the stories they offer to needleworkers. We also discuss the UFOs that are in us, going beyond simply stitching the prescribed design, and the differences between art stitching and project stitching. Special bonus: Mark your calendars to watch the Dec. 8 Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Kathy will join us to show and talk about the series of art-stitching pieces she created to help her deal with her winning fight against breast cancer.–Gary and Beth

The calendar says it’s Wednesday, so we chatted. We talked a lot about WIPs, cooked up an old-school sampler project (feel free to join us), discussed the benefits of Gary volunteering at a needlepoint shop, and considered the benefits of practicing needlepainting and other techniques to develop skills without the commitment of a project. Join us tonight for Stitch Hour. Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack will join us for another episode of Thread Talk. Tonight’s subject will be selecting the right silk threads for your linen thread count. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Kathy Andrews.–Beth and Gary
