Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 6-29-22

Mystery in St. Tropez by Sue Fitzsimmon.

Another week has blown by, but that’s OK because it gives us another chance to talk about needlework. This week Beth and Gary discuss the Gay Ann Rogers Mystery in St. Tropez project and how we’re going to stitch it, purchasing thread/canvas packs from Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com), whether the word “challenge” scares people away from a project, EGA picking up Diana Snyder’s “Teach our Youth to Stitch” program, a new reticella book available from Mary Corbet, and making projects our own. Join us tonight, June 29, for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. It’s a Stitch and Chat night. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Carol Cooke–Beth and Gary

Gay Ann Rogers joins Gary and Beth for this week’s Midweek Chat, sponsored by Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com). Our topic is the new Mystery in St. Tropez project we’re starting with Gay Ann Rogers. We learn what inspired the design, how the project works, and talk a bit about the various thread packs Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack has assembled. It’s a fun project that offers something for everyone from beginner to advanced needleworker. Be sure to watch the slide show below to see some of the options. Join us tonight when Gay Ann and Cathe will be our guests on the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. We’ll look at photos of the project and the thread packs, in addition to new thread combinations Cathe has put together using Congress cloth. Join us at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel.–Beth and Gary
