Fiber Talk with Mary Corbet #4

Painter canvases make a great foundation for quickly finishing needlework.

Mary Corbet returns for another fun discussion about all things stitching. This time we talk about the history of Needle ‘n Thread, Mary’s new studio, her upcoming youth class schedule, traveling with needlework, quick-finishing techniques, thimbles, coloring books, and a few other topics. It’s always a treat to talk with Mary. Don’t miss this one.–Gary and Christine
