Fiber Talk at 2019 Nashville Market II

Taking a break from the action to post a couple of videos. Here’s what’s new from The Scarlett House, Shakespeare’s Peddler, and a special Rosewood Manor encore for listener Rose Rose.

Tanya Brockmeyer of The Scarlett House is going with a dog theme this year. In the video she shows a wide range of new designs, including Gary’s favorite Christmas design.

Theresa Venette of Shakespeare’s Peddler has several new designs including A Saviour’s Praise and Louisa Horsey 1836.

Listener Rose Rose requested a special viewing of one of the older Rosewood Manor designs, so Karen Kluba was happy to help out.

Julia Fletcher 1847 from The Scarlett House
Today’s show is definitely different and a bit of an experiment. Gary and Vonna are devoting the entire show to some of the new designs being offered at the Nashville Market, March 1 to 3. While you can certainly simply listen to the podcast and get plenty out of it, we’re accompanying this show with a slide show of some of the designs we like and want to talk about. To see those designs while we talk about them, go to the page for this show at wetalkfiber.com. If you click on the slide show on the podcast page, you’ll see a larger version. Arrows on the left and right of each photo allow you to move through the slideshow. We hope you enjoy our discussion and this different format. Please provide feedback about this format so we’ll have a sense of whether it works. Sunday’s guest: Mary Corbet.
