Fiber Talk Queen’s Sampler, Sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery, Kickoff Day

The Queen’s Sampler, stitched by Linda Vinson.

Note, the video linked below is a new version with all of the audio. If you listened to the previous version and weren’t able to hear the final 10 min., jump to the 30 min. mark in this one to hear that discussion. Sorry for the hassle and confusion. Gary

It’s day one of the Queen’s Sampler Project, sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. While we’re starting the project today, the first video applies to anyone, whether you’re interested in the Queen’s Sampler or not. In the video we talk about how we set up linen and threads for any project. Maybe there’s a tip in it for you? In addition, you’ll learn the proper arm motion for ironing linen, which is a valuable thing to know. If you want to do the project with us, call Kim at Sassy Jacks to buy your kit at a discounted price. Also, go to the Shop page to buy your Fiber Talk needle minders.–Gary and Vonna

Nicola’s Bathya sampler, showing both sides of the reversibly stitch reproduction.

We’re back for another Wednesday chat. Christine is traveling for the paying job so Nicola Parkman of Hands Across the Sea Samplers was kind enough to fill in. In addition to samplers ;), we talk about bead storage, Yvette Stanton’s next book and recognition for her work, and Nicola’s upcoming travels to the U.S. It’s a fun conversation, so haul out your favorite project and start listening and stitching.–Gary and Christine
