Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 12-7-22

Beth’s lizard painted-canvas piece is nearing a finish.

The day in the middle has arrived and we have, once again, gathered to talk about our favorite subject. This week we discuss our holiday schedule, a notable schedule change in 2023, the return of Adjust-a-Frames ([email protected]), Beth’s fleece dyeing plans, Beth’s painted canvas progress and what’s she’s learned, our Jan. 1 Jenifer birthday celebration, 2023 stitching plans, and the question of whether needlework is art, hobby, or craft. No Stitch Hour tonight. Stitch Hour returns Dec. 14 with guest Natalie Dupuis. Sunday’s guest is Orna Willis and it’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-14-21

Take Wing from Joanna Kabanoff of Mojo Stitches. Kits from Sassy Jacks at wetalkfiber.com/wing.
It’s the day in the middle and we have some big announcements. Probably the biggest is that Fiber Talk will be attending and broadcasting live shows, interviews, and exhibit tours from the EGA Seminar in Sept. We’re very excited to be able to share the event with those who can’t attend. We also will be celebrating World Embroidery Day on July 30 with a three hour stitch-and-chat show from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the YouTube channel. Join us and three designers for some fun needlework conversation. Friday night at 8:00 p.m. on the YouTube channel, Beth and Gary will be doing a live show to talk about our painted-canvas projects. Tonight, on the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour, also at 8:00 p.m. on the YouTube channel, we’ll learn how to do needle lace with Carrie Noess. In addition, Beth and Gary talk about experimenting with threads, substituting when threads don’t work out, whether perfection is really that important, where we find joy in stitching, and how much we like the Adjust-A-Frame stretcher bars. We hope you enjoy the show and can participate in our upcoming events.–Beth and Gary

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

Gary makes significant progress with his new stitching room/studio.

Illness shut us down for a week but Gary is on the mend and the midweek chatting resumes. This week’s conversation focuses on Beth’s burning desire to start a painted-canvas project and how to approach it, progress on Gary’s new studio and how it will be set up, and making a trip to the Needlepoint Club House to help Beth spend money. Join us tonight when the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour returns with returning guest Dima Santina. We gather at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Michelle May, The Raspberry Rabbits–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Melissa MacLeod and Megan Holmes

These canvases and stitch guides are available from Melissa MacLeod at The Wool & The Floss.

They’re good friends who own needlepoint shops in different states. Melissa MacLeod owns The Wool &The Floss in Gross Pointe, MI, and Megan Holmes owns The Needlepoint Club House in Kirkwood (St. Louis), MO. They’ve taken different paths to where they are today and we get to learn about their needlepoint careers, how they’ve worked their way through this pandemic-induced boom time for needlework, and the trends they are seeing in the market. Be sure to visit their respective websites to learn more about the many activities they produce now and have planned for the future.–Gary
