Bargello heart stitched by Cindy BaldwinWednesday has arrived once again and Gary and Cindy have gathered to talk about a random collection of subjects, none of which we planned to discuss. Among the subjects are the Needlework Galleria and what Gary bought, which led to several topics such as Erica Michaels berries, finishing, and Rosewood Manor designs. We also discussed needlepoint techniques, cross stitch techniques, and samplers. We had fun talking and hope you have fun listening. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern when Gary will be at The Attic with Jean Lean and we’ll conclude our series of Wednesday sampler shows by fawning over a small portion of Jean’s vast collection. You can find us at the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Lindsay Swearingen, author of the new book “Creepy Cross Stitch: 25 Spooky Projects.”–Cindy and Gary

Some of the display projects at Welcome Stitchery.
Monica Pratt is our guest this week. She is owner of Welcome Stitchery, a needlework store located in Crystal Lake, IL, northwest of Chicago. Monica and her staff recently celebrated 29 years in business, putting them among the oldest local needlework stores in the hobby. Starting out primarily as a cross-stitch shop, Monica has built Welcome Stitchery into a complete needlework operation that offers a large array of charts and canvases, more threads than they have room to display, a very large selection of ground cloths/canvases, a regular schedule of classes, and a very-busy custom-framing department. We hope you enjoy hearing about Gary’s favorite shop and how they’ve succeeded for almost three decades.–Christine and Gary
Listen to the podcast:
If you don’t see the threads you want, ask. They’re probably in the store.

We hope you enjoy this week’s chat with Monica. We’re always looking for guests, so let us know if there is someone you’d like us to have on the show.–Gary and Christine
