Arelen Cohen’s Victorian Nosegay design.
It’s Wednesday once again and Arlene and Gary are chatting. This week Arlene patiently answers Gary’s dumb-guy questions about designing. We also discuss making changes from original designs, HAED stitching, and the question that has haunted stitchers for decades: Is there a difference between DMC and Anchor black threads? Sunday’s guest: Clare Hunter and her book “Threads of Life.”–Arlene and Gary
