Arlene Cohen’s Inspiration from the 16th Century design
Arlene and Gary have gathered once again for some needlework conversation. This time we discuss the Montenegrin stitch, Arlene’s whitework efforts, holding needlework, floor and lap stands, and whether we can live without DMC. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it. Sunday’s guest: Gay Ann Rogers–Arlene and Gary

Ilke Cochrane returns for a second visit this week. It’s rather common to talk to guests who have completed some form of education with the Royal School of Needlework. But Ilke is in the early stages of a certificate program, so I was anxious to talk to her and learn what she’s experiencing. Now I really want to take at least a class from the Royal School. We also get to learn about her experiences with a slate frame and more about her various designs. Also, through July, Ilke is offering a discount on her products for Fiber Talk listeners. Here’s how to get your discount: Email Ilke at [email protected] with your order and the code FIBERTALK10. You will get 10% off all chart packs including the Pick & Mix options and the Sets & Series (which are already discounted compared to buying the individual designs), and also 10% off one item from the Kits & Tools section (basically anything physical which has to be posted). Also, there are two links below (or on the Fiber Talk page for this podcast if you are reading this elsewhere. One is an article about her Royal School experiences since we recorded and the other is about her 2020 SAL. Enjoy the show.–Gary
