Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 12-2-20

Spring HIll by Karen Kluba of Rosewood Manor. Our SAL, sponsored by Needle in a Haystack, will start Jan. 1

It’s the day after Tuesday and Beth and Gary have lots to talk about. We’re just about ready to go with our Jan. 1 SAL of the Rosewood Manor Springhill design. The SAL is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack and we’re offering four thread sets–the designed set of Sullivans threads and the three sets that Jenifer, Beth, and Gary are stitching. Kits will be available in the next few days from Needle in a Haystack. You can see what the three of us are stitching in the photos below. In conjunction with the SAL, we answer a listener question about the various factors involved in changing the called-for threads and ground cloth in a design. In addition, we talk about the linen and thread test kits offered by Needle in a Haystack, designed to help you decide what linen thread count and thread  combination gives you the coverage and look you want. We also update our discussion about using apps to organize needlework projects. We hope you enjoy the show. Sunday’s guest is Jen Goodwin of Jen Goodwin Embroidery.–Beth and Gary

Biscornu stitched and finished by Jenifer.
Needle In A Haystack is sponsoring our SAL of the Rosewood Manor design, Springhill. Kits available soon and we start stitching Jan. 1.

It’s Wednesday once again. Jenifer and Gary gather to talk about the factors that make us lose interest in and stop stitching projects that we initially liked, and what it is that draws us to a project. We also experience Gary confusing Sulky cotton thread with NPI silk and almost convincing Jenifer. In addition, we announce a new SAL. On Jan. 1 we will start stitching Springhill by Rosewood Manor. The SAL is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack. Jenifer, Beth, and Gary are each planning to stitch Springhill in a different thread set. More information is coming as soon as Cathe makes the conversions and gets the kits together. Join us tonight for the Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern when we’ll talk about stitching painted-canvas designs with our guest, Patricia Sone.–Jenifer and Gary
