Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 9-6-23 (repost)

Stitched by Rinda Just.
It’s time for that chat we have in the middle of the week every other week. This time, Cindy and Gary talk about stitching in public, our Sept. 3 show on vision, Jane Garrison and Painter’s Threads, events at Sassy Jacks Stitchery, Gary’s almost-matching sampler border, and whether designers/teachers need formal training. Overrated/underrated topics this week are laying tools, tweezers, cross-stitch charts printed in color, and adjustable stretcher bars. Join us next Wednesday for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Our guest will be Jane Garrison of Painter’s Threads and we’ll be live on YouTube and Facebook. Sunday’s guest: Lucy Newman, LJN Studio–Cindy and Gary

Fiber Talk with Jane Garrison

Our guest this week is Jane Garrison from Threadnuts/The Painter’s Threads Collection. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America at egausa.org. Jane is a wholesale provider of a wide range of thread types, all marketed as the Painter’s Threads Collection. These are not your typical overdyed threads. They provide a unique look that can be used to enhance/embellish your needlework. In our discussion we learn about the thinking behind the thread dye schemes and discuss how they might be used. While talking with Jane, Beth somehow absconded with one of Gary’s painted canvases so she can use Painter’s Threads to stitch it. Will it get mailed? Also, mark your calendars. Jane will be our guest on the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour show, Aug. 30 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Join us on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel to see the how the threads are used and what they can do for your needlework.–Beth and Gary
