Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 2-12-20

Sam the Snowman, By the Bay Needleart, finished by Vonna Pfeiffer.
We are half way between Sundays and Gary and Vonna have gathered once again to talk about our favorite hobby. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and we’re talking about cloche, helping Barbara Huston raise funds for the Mary Orr 1831 sampler (information below), laying tools, charted-canvas needlepoint, keeping thread and projects clean, and our upcoming activities. Be sure to visit our Nashville 2020 introductions page to see many designs that will be presented at Nashville Market. Join us Friday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern for Fiber Talk Friday Night Live. Sunday’s guest is Susan Winter of Fire Poppies.–Vonna and Gary

Fiber Talk Live, Stitch with Gary 2-9-20

Please support our sponsor Fire Poppies at firepoppies.com

Fire Poppies (firepoppies.com) is sponsoring this month’s Fiber Talk Live Stitch with Gary show. Gary stitches on his Debbie Rowley Glitz and Glamour Opal counted-canvas needlepoint project. One of the “highlights” is when Gary gets to rip out an entire Rhodes stitch because he didn’t cut the thread long enough.

Also, please consider helping friends of Dr. Gloria Seaman Allen gift the Mary Orr 1831 sampler to the Winterthur Museum in honor of Dr. Allen. To contribute, send a check payable to Winterthur Museum to Ms. Linda Eaton, Director of Collections and Senior Curator of Textiles, 5101 Kennett Pike, Winterthur, DE 19735 or, to contribute with credit card payment, follow this link: http://inside.winterthur.org/give.
