Fiber Talk with Cindy Lee Gershin

Golden Captured Heart by Cindy Gershin

Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery is sponsoring this week’s show with Cindy Lee Gershin. The objective of the show is to provide needleworkers with insights from a veteran needlework judge. You’ll learn what matters and doesn’t matter when judges evaluate needlework, common errors/flaws, and how to evaluate your finished work to reduce the chance that you missed something. We also talk about finishing projects and discuss that well-worn topic of glass or no glass. As a companion to this podcast, Cindy will join us for the July 28 Stitch Hour to show examples of good and flawed needlework and to answer your questions. Join us at 8:00 p.m. on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel to learn more about how to improve your needlework.–Gary
