Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 12-4-19

A Twisted Stitcher finish.

We have once again made our way to Wednesday and Sassy Jacks is sponsoring another of those Gary and Vonna chats. Topics include Vonna’s 25 Days of Christmas stitching of Jane Stanwix 1843 from Samplers Revisited (she has no willpower), Mary Ann Frame 1796 from Sassafras Samplers, the Modern Folk Embroidery Bristol Monkey Sampler, Floche for Agnus Dei, finishing threads on the front, and a bunch of other things that simply showed up in the conversation. Sunday’s show is Quaker Sampler Sunday–Vonna and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 1-10-18

Petite Very Velvet is one of Mary McGuire’s 10 Favorite Threads.
This week’s Midweek Chat is a new video Gary recorded with talented needlepointer Mary McGuire. In the video Gary and Mary discuss Mary’s 10 favorite threads and look at the effects they have in several needlepoint designs and painted canvases. Mary’s favorites are Petite Very Velvet, Impressions, Gloriana silks, Threadworx overdyed floss, Vineyard silk, Petite Sparkle Rays, DMC Floche, Watercolors and Wildflowers, DMC Perle Cotton, and Kreinik metallics. We hope you enjoy this thread exploration and will maybe identify one or two you’d like to try on your next project.–Christine and Gary
