Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 3-14-18

It’s Midweek Chat time once again. This week the chat is not Gary and Christine but a short conversation Gary had with Kim Young of Sassy Jacks Stitchery, before the Nashville Market started. In the conversation, you’ll get a sense of what a store owner does when she attends the Market and an update on all of the exciting things Kim is doing at Sassy Jacks.–Gary and Christine
