Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 3-27-19

Finishing by Vonna Pfeiffer on a quilt by Vonna Pfeiffer.

The day that begins with a W has arrived once again and that means it’s time for some midweek chatting. It’s Vonna and Gary this week and we talk about Gary’s apparent inability to count to ten, speculate about stitching the Queen Sampler, discuss stitching paths, help Vonna discover that she has thought processes, gush over Ellie Pfeiffer’s skills, analyze the Jesus project, and talk about quiet morning stitching time. We also gain insight into how Vonna stores and retrieves charts and other supplies from her backyard warehouse. Sunday’s guest: Cathy Habermann of Hands on Design.
