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

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 10-10-18

The sound is rather rocky in this show (technical problems), but it’s Wednesday and we’re chatting, nonetheless. We had a list of topics this week and got to the Jane Wood and Arlene Cohen items, but then veered off the road and talked at length about the psychology of stitching and then moved on to news feeds. We hope the discussion gives you food for thought or, at the least, is interesting. Sunday’s guest: Linda Eaton, head curator at Winterthur.
