Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 8-19-20

Punch needle design stitched by Jenifer Kopasz-Roos.

It’s the day before Thursday and we’re excited to have Jenifer Kopasz-Roos join the co-hosting team. In this show we get to know Jenifer and her stitching interests; mentally prepare Gary for tonight’s punch needle lesson with Karin Hedburg, punch needle instructor at Sassy Jacks; announce the next live tour with Gallery76 of the Embroiderers Guild Galleries NSW; talk more about Michelle Gajda’s wool applique art; and delve into making Temari balls. Note that Friday’s guest will be Dima Santina. Beth will be with us but we’ll talk about her fabric-dying efforts another time. Clearly Gary can’t keep dates straight. Enjoy the show and join us tonight, Aug. 19 at 8:00 Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel for the basics of the punch-needle technique. Sunday’s guest is Medeleine Harwell of Madeleine Elizabeth designs.–Jenifer and Gary

It’s Wednesday and we get to talk about needlework again. This week’s subjects include Anne Crowell literally saving Gary’s Royal Garden, Remembering Ricamo, upcoming events and shows, Gay Ann Rogers, and more discussion about creativity, particularly what factors hurt it. We also talk about changing designs to make them our own.–Beth and Gary
