Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-1-23

Glitter & Gogh: Etude of The Starry Night by Natalie Dupuis.
Yet another Wednesday has arrived and Beth and Gary have gathered to converse. Our topics include Beth’s new goldwork addiction (“I don’t do goldwork.”), Clara Warschauer’s role in addicting Beth, Gary’s goldwork plans, having respect for copyrights, Lisa Call’s art and her approach to design, Beth dusting off her casket project, tackling lots of WIPs, and dealing with stash when stitchers pass away. Overrated/underrated topics are seam rippers, stretcher bar tacks, and stitching calendars. Join us next Wednesday, Nov. 8, on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel for a Stitch Hour show. Watch later this week on the YouTube channel for long WIP parade of Beth’s projects. It’ll be live at 2:00 Eastern Thursday, Nov. 2. Join us then or watch the recording. Sunday’s guest is Jamie Chalmers, Mr. X Stitch–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-23-22

Avlea’s Aegean Sunrise design, stitched by Beth.
We hung in there and got to the middle of the week again. Not necessarily an accomplishment but it does give us a reason to talk about needlework. This week’s topics include New Year Day starts, WIPGO 2023 (or not), seasonal stitching, stash inventory (don’t do it), 10 stitches a day on a project for a year (hmmmm), the benefits of drawing (for Beth), and what promotes and kills creativity. Join us for the conversation and don’t miss our Sunday visit with Anna McDowell, master of Dorset buttons.–Beth and Gary
