Gary’s threads and linen for the Beloved sampler from Running with Needles and Scissors.It’s our final Wednesday show of the year. But not our final show. Sunday’s podcast guests will be the Needlepoint Dads. Also, join us Friday, Dec. 15 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel for a live Cindy Baldwin WIP parade. Then mark your calendar for Christmas Day when we’ll gather at 3:00 p.m. Eastern for some stitching and chatting for those who are home alone on Christmas or simply want to get together with fellow stitchers. In this week’s conversation, Jenifer and Gary talk about the Beloved chart by Running with Needles and Scissors, Pony needles, aspects of needlework we could do without, whether we actively shop for designs or let them come to us, Domestika classes, and Sashiko stitching. Overrated/underrated topics are color cross-stitch charts and taping hoops. It’s time for our annual holiday break. Happy Holidays to everyone in the Fiber Talk audience. Thanks for your support throughout another fun, stitch-filled year.–Jenifer and Gary
