Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 8-23-23

Beth's version of the Mary Parsons 1780 sampler from The Unbroken Thread.The calendar says it’s Wednesday so we gathered to talk about needlework. This week’s topics include upcoming events at Sassy Jacks, the EGA’s FiberTalk5 discount for virtual lectures, what we’re stitching (it’s a lot), Painter’s Threads (you’re going to want some), how we planned our Sampler September projects (we didn’t), and a class Beth took with Cissy Bailey Smith. Overrated/underrated topics this week are high-end scissors, quality needles, hoops, and whether to wrap a hoop. Sunday’s guest: Clara Warschauer, Clara’s Stitching–Beth and Gary

  1. It’s interesting, folks rave about Hardwicke Manor hoops, so I bought an 11″ square one (with the rounded corners) as a lighter weight alternative to 11″ Q-snaps. I can’t stand it! Even with the inner hoop wrapped, I simply cannot. get. my. fabric. tight. No matter what I do. I wonder if it has to do with the shape? Regardless, I won’t be buying any more. Like Beth, I like the Susan Bates plastic hoops you get at JoAnn!

  2. I’m so glad you encouraged us to go back and listen to your Sunday interview with Jane Garrison (if I hadn’t already listened) prior to this coming Wednesday’s live show with Jane. There was so much background information that I know will make what I’ll be seeing more meaningful.
    How are you and Beth going to justify buying painter’s threads? I couldn’t quite figure out the justification. (LOL)
    I enjoy all of FiberTalk and feel like I always learn something. Keep it up.
