Fiber Talk Live, Stitch with Gary 2-9-20

Please support our sponsor Fire Poppies at firepoppies.com

Fire Poppies (firepoppies.com) is sponsoring this month’s Fiber Talk Live Stitch with Gary show. Gary stitches on his Debbie Rowley Glitz and Glamour Opal counted-canvas needlepoint project. One of the “highlights” is when Gary gets to rip out an entire Rhodes stitch because he didn’t cut the thread long enough.

Also, please consider helping friends of Dr. Gloria Seaman Allen gift the Mary Orr 1831 sampler to the Winterthur Museum in honor of Dr. Allen. To contribute, send a check payable to Winterthur Museum to Ms. Linda Eaton, Director of Collections and Senior Curator of Textiles, 5101 Kennett Pike, Winterthur, DE 19735 or, to contribute with credit card payment, follow this link: http://inside.winterthur.org/give. After selecting a donation amount, set the “Designation” to “Other” and enter “To honor Gloria”.

Mary Orr 1831

To help raise money, Fiber Talk is conducting a drawing of six gift certificates. Donate at least $10 toward the purchase of Mary Orr. After you donate, send an email to Vonna at [email protected]. We’ll use the honor system for contributions. Contributions must be made by midnight Eastern time, March 14. The drawing will be held March 15. The certificates will be for our sponsors. One each $50 certificate to Sassy Jacks and The Attic, and four $25 certificates to Fire Poppies, Needle in a Haystack, Shepherd’s Needle, and Stitchy Box.–Vonna and Gary
