Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 3-23-22

Fiber Talk listener contributions are helping the Stitch Sainte Luce Women’s Cooperative.

The W day has arrived and we talk about Clare Hunter’s book “Embroidering Her Truth,” available for $22 with free shipping at bookdepository.com; the terrific response we’ve received to help provide threads and needles to the Stitch St. Luce Women’s Cooperative; Heather Haley’s question about the optimum number of embroidery projects; and Angela Nowicki’s thoughts about downloading pdfs vs. printed charts. That led to a discussion about the transition period we’re in with the retail aspect of needlework. We also talk about our favorite designers. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. It’ll be a Stitch and Chat show. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. No Stitch Hour on March 30. Sunday’s guest: Ilke Cochran of Mabel Figworthy’s Fancies. –Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Clare Hunter, author of “Embroidering Her Truth”

Embroidering Her Truth by Clare Hunter
The young Mary, Queen of Scots in France.

This week’s guest is Clare Hunter, award-winning author of the new book “Embroidering Her Truth, Mary Queen of Scots and the Language of Power.” The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. “Embroidering Her Truth,” Clare’s second book, offers a new look at Mary, Queen of Scots and the role that textiles and needlework played in a life full of political power play, manipulation, corruption, broken relationships, imprisonment, and execution. Our conversation explores the extensive research that was required, the stories behind Mary’s story, and Clare’s personal experiences while writing the book. “Embroidering Her Truth” is a book unlike any other about Mary, Queen of Scots and a must read for any needleworker.–Beth and Gary
