Our usually very reliable hosting company had significant server problems and Fiber Talk was not available all day Monday. Everything is fixed and back in action. If you weren’t able to hear Sunday’s show with Kurdy Biggs because Monday is your day to listen to Fiber Talk, you can hear it now. Sorry for the hassle. Gary
It’s day two of the seminar at Sassy Jacks Stitchery, focused on the exclusive reproduction sampler Esther Benson 1739. Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers reproduced the sampler and her presentation focuses on sampler history and stitching Esther Benson. Below is a FaceBook Live podcast Christine and Gary did at Sassy Jacks, a video tour of Esther Benson Gary did with Nicola, part of Nicola’s presentation on sampler history, and a video on how to do the stem stitch. Stitchers interested in owning Esther Benson should contact Sassy Jacks at sassyjacksstitchery.com.

Because we posted this week’s “Sunday show” this past Friday and Fiber Talk listeners are used to Sunday postings, we’re doing an extra post to keep you in synch. If you missed it, this week’s guest is Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers and our topic is reproduction samplers and the newly introduced, limited-edition Sarah Braizear 1829 sampler. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and we’re joining Sassy Jacks to do a stitch along for the sampler. Listen to the Wednesday Midweek Chat for more details. If you want to join the stitch along, the group is now available at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SarahBraizear1829SAL/
Also, make a note to join us next Sunday when we talk to embroidery designer and teacher Kathy Andrews of The Unbroken Thread.–Gary and Christine
