Please support our Fiber Talk Starters sponsor Shepherd’s Needle.

This is the second episode of our new Fiber Talk Starters series, sponsored by Shepherd’s Needle, in which Vonna and Gary break down the stitching process into small segments. This twice-monthly series is designed to help beginners, experienced stitchers looking to venture into new areas, and people who simply want a refresher. This second episode looks at how to prepare ground cloth for cross stitch, needlepoint, and surface embroidery projects. We invite you to send questions or offer suggestions for future topics.

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 9-18-19

It’s Wednesday and it’s a long chat, so get some extra beer/wine or do another lap of your walking route. As always, we’re sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Please support them because they help make these podcasts possible. Our topics include our plans to participate in the Bristol Orphanage Sampler event at Sassy Jacks in October, live shows, our Queen’s Sampler experiences, storing threads and charts, and our upcoming Fiber Talk Starters series. Then the show got long and it’s all Joanie Raimindo’s fault. She asked a question about away and waste knots and that launched a serious needlework discussion. There’s learning to be done in that last 30 min. We hope you enjoy the show.–Vonna and Gary
