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.
