Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 1-6-21

Detail from a 17th Century whitework sampler from the Thistle-Threads course.
Our holiday break has ended and the podcasting resumes. For our first Midweek Chat of the new year, Beth and Gary gather to talk about raising our needlework efforts to a new and more-creative level, the 17 Century Whitework Sampler class we’re both taking from Thistle Threads and what our early studies have taught us about advancing our needlework, modifying projects to better express what we see in the design, and those projects that require complete silence and full concentration. Join us tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel when the weekly Stitch Hour show resumes with guest Dewn Rivera and his Mirabilia projects.–Beth and Gary

Spring HIll by Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor. Our SAL, sponsored by Needle in a Haystack, will start Jan. 1

It’s the day after Tuesday and Beth and Gary have lots to talk about. We’re just about ready to go with our Jan. 1 SAL of the Rosewood Manor Springhill design. The SAL is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack and we’re offering four thread sets–the designed set of Sullivans threads and the three sets that Jenifer, Beth, and Gary are stitching. Kits will be available in the next few days from Needle in a Haystack. You can see what the three of us are stitching in the photos below. In conjunction with the SAL, we answer a listener question about the various factors involved in changing the called-for threads and ground cloth in a design. In addition, we talk about the linen and thread test kits offered by Needle in a Haystack, designed to help you decide what linen thread count and thread  combination gives you the coverage and look you want. We also update our discussion about using apps to organize needlework projects. We hope you enjoy the show. Sunday’s guest is Jen Goodwin of Jen Goodwin Embroidery.–Beth and Gary
