Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-11-18

Yes, we’ve found our way to Wednesday once again. We talk about Krista Gramer, a couple in our community who have passed away, Stitchville USA, and what to do with those leftover threads. This is also a special Wednesday for those who are stitching the Sarah Braizear 1829 sampler from Hands Across the Sea Samplers, because it marks the official start of the stitch along. Even if you’re not stitching the sampler, you’ll enjoy this week’s show because we are joined by Jacqueline Morris, the talented needleworker who stitched Sarah Braizear. We have a great time discussing stitching in general and exploring many of the nuances of Sarah Braizear and how Jacqueline stitched the model. It was a real treat to have Jacqueline join us. Sunday’s guest: Jessica Chaney, Lycette Designs.

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 5-16-18

It’s Wednesday and the chatting resumes, this time with The Twisted Stitcher, Vonna Pfeiffer, who is filling in for Christine. We covered a lot of ground including what Gary and Vonna are stitching, switching from cross stitch to needlepoint, buying large quantities of linen and thread, and Stitch Mania and the Internet in general and what they mean for the hobby. We also discuss the Sarah Braizear SAL. Did Vonna cave? Is she going to stitch Sarah Braizear? Sunday’s guest: Caroline Hauffe, Off The Grid Needlearts.–Gary and Christine
