Please support our sponsor Fire Poppies at firepoppies.com

Fire Poppies (firepoppies.com) is sponsoring this month’s Fiber Talk Live Stitch with Gary show. Gary stitches on his Debbie Rowley Glitz and Glamour Opal counted-canvas needlepoint project. One of the “highlights” is when Gary gets to rip out an entire Rhodes stitch because he didn’t cut the thread long enough.

Also, please consider helping friends of Dr. Gloria Seaman Allen gift the Mary Orr 1831 sampler to the Winterthur Museum in honor of Dr. Allen. To contribute, send a check payable to Winterthur Museum to Ms. Linda Eaton, Director of Collections and Senior Curator of Textiles, 5101 Kennett Pike, Winterthur, DE 19735 or, to contribute with credit card payment, follow this link: http://inside.winterthur.org/give. After selecting a donation amount, set the “Designation” to “Other” and enter “To honor Gloria”.

Fiber Talk with Barbara Hutson II

Barbara Hutson, owner of Queenstown Sampler Designs, returns to join Vonna and Gary for a discussion about North American samplers and how they fit into the history of the needle arts. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. This week’s show is an enlightening discussion of Mexican samplers, their origins, designs/styles, and the role of the Catholic ministries. We also talk extensively about American samplers in New England, particularly Pennsylvania and Maryland. Barbara is extremely knowledgeable about sampler history and it’s great fun to tap into her mental treasure trove. We hope you enjoy the show.–Vonna and Gary
