Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 1-6-21

Detail from a 17th Century whitework sampler from the Thistle-Threads course.
Our holiday break has ended and the podcasting resumes. For our first Midweek Chat of the new year, Beth and Gary gather to talk about raising our needlework efforts to a new and more-creative level, the 17 Century Whitework Sampler class we’re both taking from Thistle Threads and what our early studies have taught us about advancing our needlework, modifying projects to better express what we see in the design, and those projects that require complete silence and full concentration. Join us tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel when the weekly Stitch Hour show resumes with guest Dewn Rivera and his Mirabilia projects.–Beth and Gary
