Fiber Talk with Jane Garrison

Our guest this week is Jane Garrison from Threadnuts/The Painter’s Threads Collection. The show is sponsored by the Embroiderers’ Guild of America at egausa.org. Jane is a wholesale provider of a wide range of thread types, all marketed as the Painter’s Threads Collection. These are not your typical overdyed threads. They provide a unique look that can be used to enhance/embellish your needlework. In our discussion we learn about the thinking behind the thread dye schemes and discuss how they might be used. While talking with Jane, Beth somehow absconded with one of Gary’s painted canvases so she can use Painter’s Threads to stitch it. Will it get mailed? Also, mark your calendars. Jane will be our guest on the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour show, Aug. 30 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Join us on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel to see the how the threads are used and what they can do for your needlework.–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Di van Niekerk

Wish You Were Here from the Box Full of Lessons series.
Tea in the Garden by Di van Niekerk

We travel to South Africa this week to learn about ribbon embroidery from Di van Niekerk, one of the world’s leading experts. This week’s show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Di van Niekerk takes ribbon-embroidery art to a new level. Her ability to add dimension and realism to painted scenes is flat out amazing. She has authored 14 books on needle-art techniques, in addition to her “Box Full of Lessons” series, has created her own line of silk ribbons specifically dyed to deliver natural colors that are needed in ribbon embroidery, and travels internationally to teach and lecture. For variety, she also does stumpwork and needle painting. Enjoy the show and be sure to visit her website, dicraft.com, to enjoy her many offerings.–Gary
