Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-18-20

Biscornu stitched and finished by Jenifer.
Needle In A Haystack is sponsoring our SAL of the Rosewood Manor design, Springhill. Kits available soon and we start stitching Jan. 1.

It’s Wednesday once again. Jenifer and Gary gather to talk about the factors that make us lose interest in and stop stitching projects that we initially liked, and what it is that draws us to a project. We also experience Gary confusing Sulky cotton thread with NPI silk and almost convincing Jenifer. In addition, we announce a new SAL. On Jan. 1 we will start stitching Springhill by Rosewood Manor. The SAL is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack. Jenifer, Beth, and Gary are each planning to stitch Springhill in a different thread set. More information is coming as soon as Cathe makes the conversions and gets the kits together. Join us tonight for the Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern when we’ll talk about stitching painted-canvas designs with our guest, Patricia Sone.–Jenifer and Gary

Our guest this week is Madeleine Harwell of Madeleine Elizabeth. The show is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack at needlestack.com. Madeleine is a talented painted-canvas designer who grew up in a needlepoint shop and, at a very early age, was helping adult customers select threads and stitches for their canvases. Her mother handles the business end of Madeleine Elizabeth, Madeleine creates the art, and together they are making a significant mark in the needlepoint world. Madeleine expresses her art in other ways by painting storefronts and banners. Enjoy hearing her story and visit your local needlepoint store to see her canvases.–Gary
