It took Gary three tries with the center diamond of Mystery in St. Tropez to get a satisfactory look.

Heart by Cindy Baldwin.
It’s Wednesday and Cindy and Gary felt the need to gather and talk about needlework. This week we talked about the Mystery in St. Tropez project, pros and cons of removing selvage from needlepoint canvas, the difference between warp and weft and the fact that we really don’t have a clue, when to cut threads in lengths and when not to, storing threads, and the importance of being constructive when instructing and/or helping others. Note that there is no Stitch Hour tonight. We’ll return next Wednesday night. Sunday’s guest: David McCaskill.–Cindy and Gary

See below for a new video in which we talk about the threads Gary and Beth have selected for Mystery in St. Tropez. Sunday’s guest: Tracy Franklin–Beth and Gary
