Are ort bowls overrated or underrated and is Gary’s collection ridiculous?

Fiber Talk: Your Eyes and Stitching

Needlework by Kelly Lea Teske.
Counted-canvas work by Rinda Just.
This week we are joined by Rinda Just and Kelly Lea Teske. The show is sponsored by CyberPointers and Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Our topic is vision issues that go beyond using a good light and magnifier. Rinda and Kelly share their experiences and expertise on topics such as macular degeneration, dry eyes, floaters, eye vitamins, what you can expect and ask of your eye doctor, purchasing glasses that will fit properly and work for you, and what it’s like to adapt and deal with vision problems. Note that we are not doctors. What we share in the show are our own experiences and Kelly’s expertise as an experienced optician. Our goal is to help you ask informed questions and make good decisions about your eye care. Anything to do with your eye health starts with your eye doctor. We hope this show helps you better understand vision issues and encourage you to share it with your fellow stitchers. A special thank you to Nancy Holub, Rinda Just, and Kelly Lea Teske for giving us the opportunity to talk about this important subject.–Gary
