Heart by Cindy Baldwin.It’s Wednesday and Cindy and Gary felt the need to gather and talk about needlework. This week we talked about the Mystery in St. Tropez project, pros and cons of removing selvage from needlepoint canvas, the difference between warp and weft and the fact that we really don’t have a clue, when to cut threads in lengths and when not to, storing threads, and the importance of being constructive when instructing and/or helping others. Note that there is no Stitch Hour tonight. We’ll return next Wednesday night. Sunday’s guest: David McCaskill.–Cindy and Gary

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

Glass House Fuchsias by Merrilyn Heazlewood.Hidden Trellises by Merrilyn Heazlewood.
This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and Avlea Folk Embroidery. Our guest is talented counted canvas, embroidery, and ribbon embroidery designer and teacher, Merrilyn Heazlewood. In the conversation, we learn quite a bit about what it’s like to teach on a global scale; Merrilyn’s approach to design, particularly ribbon embroidery; and her views of the needlework world. We also learn about the impact Catholic school upbringing can have on needlework and how you can improve your stitching, simply by having a glass of wine. It was a delightful conversation and we’re confident you’ll enjoy getting to know more about Merrilyn Heazlewood.–Beth and Gary
