Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 8-31-22

Heart by Cindy Baldwin.
It’s Wednesday and Cindy and Gary felt the need to gather and talk about needlework. This week we talked about the Mystery in St. Tropez project, pros and cons of removing selvage from needlepoint canvas, the difference between warp and weft and the fact that we really don’t have a clue, when to cut threads in lengths and when not to, storing threads, and the importance of being constructive when instructing and/or helping others. Note that there is no Stitch Hour tonight. We’ll return next Wednesday night. Sunday’s guest: David McCaskill.–Cindy 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

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
