Enter the drawing for this Sacred Heart project kit by Clara Warschauer. Her free class is June 15.We weren’t planning to offer a show until we do a Stitch Hour on June 5. Then Clara Warschauer came along and offered two Sacred Heart kits to give away to Fiber Talk listeners for her free June 15 online class. To give listeners a chance to enter the drawing, we dusted off the podcasting gear and put a show together. Instructions for entering the drawing are provided in the podcast. We also are doing a bit of experimenting. We recorded this show as a video so YouTube watchers can see us. We have a couple of kinks to work out, one being Gary’s camera going in and out of focus. Audio listeners shouldn’t notice any difference. If you like the video format, let us know. Aside from all of that, we talked about our upcoming trip to Sassy Jacks, monogamous stitching, Beth’s work on Dawn to Dusk, and designing our own samplers.–Beth and Gary
