One of the fun aspects of starting a new project is selecting the ground cloth. There are so many options available to stitchers and one of the more creative providers is this week’s guest, Stephanie Bishop of Fabrics by Stephanie. This week’s show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery. In our conversation, we learn how Stephanie got started with the art of dyeing fabric, get a sense of what’s involved in creating ground cloth, gain some insight into the struggles providers are experiencing getting materials during the pandemic, and find out where some of her fabric names originated. We hope you enjoy learning about the world of ground-cloth dyeing.–Beth and Gary
