Fiber Talk with Brendon and Karen Kirk

Sarah Newman sampler from Fox and Rabbit Designs.

I’m glad to have Brendon and Karen Kirk join me this week. Brendon and Karen are the couple behind the very popular Linen and Threads Mystery SAL, an attractive collection of reproduction samplers under the Fox and Rabbit Designs name, and original and creative designs by Karen under the Blackberry Rabbit name. They are a dynamic couple who are making an exciting impression on the needle-arts world. I’m confident you’ll enjoy the conversation.–Gary

The day that begins with a W has arrived once again and that means it’s time for some midweek chatting.

We also gain insight into how Vonna stores and retrieves charts and other supplies from her backyard warehouse. Sunday’s guest: Cathy Habermann of Hands on Design.
