Fiber Talk with Di van Niekerk

Wish You Were Here from the Box Full of Lessons series.
Tea in the Garden by Di van Niekerk

We travel to South Africa this week to learn about ribbon embroidery from Di van Niekerk, one of the world’s leading experts. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Di van Niekerk takes ribbon-embroidery art to a new level. Her ability to add dimension and realism to painted scenes is flat out amazing. She has authored 14 books on needle-art techniques, in addition to her “Box Full of Lessons” series, has created her own line of silk ribbons specifically dyed to deliver natural colors that are needed in ribbon embroidery, and travels internationally to teach and lecture. For variety, she also does stumpwork and needle painting. Enjoy the show and be sure to visit her website, dicraft.com, to enjoy her many offerings.–Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 3-17-21

Stitched and finished by Jenifer.

A week has passed and we decided to chat again. Jenifer and Gary explore our efforts to modify the Springhill design, the Lorraine Turner podcast from this past Sunday, and the upcoming Di van Niekerk podcast. We also talk at length about the things people can do when they run out of enthusiasm for the stitching project they’re currently working on. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. It’ll be our first of the Thread Talk series with Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com). We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday: Di van Niekirk–Jenifer and Gary
