Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 3-23-22

Fiber Talk listener contributions are helping the Stitch Sainte Luce Women’s Cooperative.

The W day has arrived and we talk about Clare Hunter’s book “Embroidering Her Truth,” available for $22 with free shipping at bookdepository.com; the terrific response we’ve received to help provide threads and needles to the Stitch St. Luce Women’s Cooperative; Heather Haley’s question about the optimum number of embroidery projects; and Angela Nowicki’s thoughts about downloading pdfs vs. printed charts. That led to a discussion about the transition period we’re in with the retail aspect of needlework. We also talk about our favorite designers. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. It’ll be a Stitch and Chat show. We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. No Stitch Hour on March 30. Sunday’s guest: Ilke Cochran of Mabel Figworthy’s Fancies. –Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Rebecca Dallimore

The ladies of the Stitch Sainte Luce Womens’ Embroidery Coorperative.

Rebecca Dallimore joins us this week for a special show about how needle and thread are making a true economic and social difference for the people of Sainte Luce, Madagascar. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Rebecca is the Corporate Liaison Officer for SEED Madagascar and Marketing & Sales Coordinator for Stitch Sainte Luce Womens’ Embroidery Cooperative in Madagascar. Rebecca shares the uplifting story of establishment and impressive growth of the cooperative and how it is changing lives for the families in Sainte Luce and the surrounding villages.

Today the Cooperative is completely self-sustaining, but is always happy to receive contributions of needles and DMC floss. The floss can be of any color. If you’re interested in contributing, please follow the instructions below. Not doing so will hold your contribution up in customs and likely result in Rebecca/SEED spending a lot of money in taxes to release the package. This is an organization worth helping if you are so inclined.–Gary
