It’s been seven days since our last chat. This week, Jenifer and Gary gather to talk about thread and fabric testing Jenifer did with a silk samplings kit from Needle in a Haystack, deciding on single or double strands when doing cross stitch, back stitch strategies, the value of partial stitches, not underestimating DMC floss, upcoming activities, and Jenifer’s experiences with the Springhill project. Reminder: The Marion Lang chart is available for free until 9:00 p.m. Eastern at wetalkfiber.com/lang. Kits available at wetalkfiber.com/langkit. Join us tonight for some stitching and chatting during the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Sunday’s guest is Joanna Kabanoff of Mojo Stitches and we’ll start her Take Wing design. Chart and kits available Sunday from Sassy Jacks at wetalkfiber.com/wing.–Jenifer and Gary

A week has passed and we decided to chat again. Jenifer and Gary explore our efforts to modify the Springhill design, the Lorraine Turner podcast from this past Sunday, and the upcoming Di van Niekerk podcast. We also talk at length about the things people can do when they run out of enthusiasm for the stitching project they’re currently working on. Join us tonight for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. It’ll be our first of the Thread Talk series with Cathe Ray of Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com). We start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel.

Chatting day has arrived and Beth and Gary got together to talk about the various changes we’re testing/making to our Springhill projects, color wheels and learning about color, and the perception of needlework as art, hobby, and/or craft.
