Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-7-21

Beth is going to stitch this painted canvas.

Seven days have passed since we last did this Midweek Chat thing and time has given us more to talk about. This week Beth and Gary begin exploring painted-canvas needlepoint projects, talk about Gary’s studio progress, and talk about using historical art and designs in today’s needle arts. Are we being honoring those in the past? Being respectful? Keeping old things alive so history isn’t forgotten. No clear answer but a topic worth discussing. Sunday’s guest: Ekta Kaul–Beth and Gary

Somewhere in the world, in a back room filled with historic needlework, is where you’re likely to find this week’s guests, Erin Harvey Moody and Christy Gordon Baty of Relics in Situ. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Erin and Christy have built a business researching, documenting, and sharing their passion for historic needleworks and textiles. Our conversation will give you some insight into the places they’ve been and the things they’ve learned. It was an absolute treat to talk with them. Huge thanks to Marjo DeForest for suggesting they would make great guests.–Beth and Gary
