The Twisted Stitcher finished these.It’s late in the day and the recording is very fresh, but it’s still Wednesday so, technically, we’re on schedule. Sassy Jacks is sponsoring while Gary and Vonna talk about how the Covid virus and quarantining are changing needlework, most likely, for the better; the many ways needleworkers have of performing the same tasks and that none of those ways is wrong; and our participation with Alicia Hemphill and Michelle Garrette as part of the VeloStitchers fund-raising team for the Cleveland Clinic Velosano event. To pledge money or joint the team, visit give.ccf.org/velostitchers. We hope you enjoy the show and invite you to join us Thursday and Friday night on our Youtube Channel for our live shows.–Gary and Vonna
