We’re, once again, two days from the weekend and it’s time to talk needlework. Topics for this Wednesday include a question from listener Sharon Saunders about buying linen when you don’t have a store, whether a stitch path is useful, sampler borders, challenging reproduction samplers from The Essamplaire, Lucky Jonquil thread drops, and a number of other topics. Mark your calendar for March 15, when Margaret Hagen will be our Stitch Hour guest so we can see more of her sampler collection. Sunday we have a great conversation about needlework techniques with Robin-Ann Rossignol.–Beth and Gary

It was warm in Connecticut in January says Jenifer’s project.
It’s Wednesday and we’re talking about needlework. This week we scrounged up several topics including Alison and Steve Cole and their casket project, the tremendous needlework Margaret Hagen showed us in last week’s Stitch Hour and the big sale going on now at The Essamplaire, the shocking fact that Gary has been stitching regularly and making significant progress, storing thread and the new stitcher organization products Jenny White of Lucky Jonquil is producing with her laser cutter, how tight to wind floss on bobbins, how we store thread is a reflection of our personalities, Jenifer’s temperature project, Jenifer’s temari group and its longevity, and whether we have stitching mentors. Sunday’s guest: Andrea Santiamo, new owner and editor of “Needlepoint Now.”–Jenifer and Gary
