Fiber Talk Quarantine Stitch Hour Tonight

Join us tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern for our Monday version of the Fiber Talk Quarantine Stitch Hour on our YouTube channel. If nothing else, you’ll learn whether Gary got all eight Rhodes/Jessica stitch combinations finished yesterday. Bring your stitching, favorite beverage, and pen and paper. There are rare occasions when we say something you’ll want to write down. Unlikely, but it could happen tonight. We’re supported tonight by Needle in a Haystack and The Attic. They’ll be happy to kit up one of the Luminous Fiber Arts charts we’ll be giving away, if you watch the show live and you’re a lucky winner. If you are not a lucky winner, they’ll be happy to handle your online purchases. We hope to see you tonight.
