Fiber Talk Mid-Week Chat, 5-31-17

The Old Scot from Hands Across The Sea Samplers

We’re back together for this week’s mid-week chat. Out of the gate we congratulate Mary Grosser, winner of our second Hands Across The Sea Samplers The Old Scot chart. We’re giving away one more copy of The Old Scot, so listen to the podcast to learn how you can win. Of course, big thanks to Nicola and Hands Across The Sea for providing these giveaway charts. Also in this show, we talk about the latest video from HATS, Nicole actually hanging something on her walls, and the latest videos from The Twisted Stitcher. Then we go off on a long excursion into stitching technique, which was fun for us and we hope helpful to at least some. We also hope we didn’t make the pros cringe.–Gary and Christine

We hope you enjoy our ramblings.–Gary and Christine
