Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 8-4-21

This sampler project is now set up properly.

It’s W day so it’s chat time. This week Gary and Beth talk about our World Embroidery Day show and the things we learned, taking that first step to learn something new, lessons Gary learned when he started working on a shelved project that wasn’t set up properly, what projects warrant what level of framing/finishing, and our plans for celebrating World Cross Stitch day. If you missed our World Embroidery Day show you can find it at wetalkfiber.com/youtube in the live video section. Also, join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and August 13 at 2:00 p.m. when we celebrate World Cross Stitch Day.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Monica Pratt

Some of the display projects at Welcome Stitchery.

Monica Pratt is our guest this week. She is owner of Welcome Stitchery, a needlework store located in Crystal Lake, IL, northwest of Chicago. Monica and her staff recently celebrated 29 years in business, putting them among the oldest local needlework stores in the hobby. Starting out primarily as a cross-stitch shop, Monica has built Welcome Stitchery into a complete needlework operation that offers a large array of charts and canvases, more threads than they have room to display, a very large selection of ground cloths/canvases, a regular schedule of classes, and a very-busy custom-framing department. We hope you enjoy hearing about Gary’s favorite shop and how they’ve succeeded for almost three decades.–Christine and Gary

If you don’t see the threads you want, ask. They’re probably in the store.
