Fiber Talk with Gay Ann Rogers IV

Tudor Rose by Gay Ann Rogers.

Gay Ann Rogers returns for the fourth time for a show sponsored by Needle In A Haystack. Our goal with this show is to help all of us, who are quarantined in a stressful world, use our needlework as a coping/stress-relief activity and a diversion from the world around us. We also provide ample permission to have multiple projects in the works at one time. –Gary and Vonna

Fiber Talk with Gay Ann Rogers III

Lady Mary design by Gay Ann Rogers

It’s been more than a year since we talked with Gay Ann Rogers and that’s too long. Sassy Jacks sponsors this week’s conversation with one of the best in the business. Our topics include defining a world-class stitcher; what makes you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced stitcher; and factors that constitute good stitching technique. Since we recorded this on Friday the 13th, we also dabble a bit in needlework superstitions. We’re confident you’ll learn from and enjoy the conversation.-–Gary and Vonna

Fiber Talk with Gay Ann Rogers II

Queen Victoria, Royal Bride by Gay Ann Rogers
Gay Ann Rogers returns for an enlightening discussion about how she designed Queen Victoria, Royal Bride. But this is much more than a discussion about a design. It’s an hour of insight into what it takes to create the visual impact we all want in our stitching projects. Gay Ann shares how she makes color decisions, how stitches affect color choices, what makes shadows work, and a variety of other nuances that raise the level of any needlework. If you want to raise your stitching to a new level, this podcast will get your creative wheels spinning.-–Gary and Christine
