“Encore” Fiber Talk with Terri Bay

One of Terri Bay’s Lotus box designs.

This podcast originally aired in February 2018. This is an encore presentation of a very enjoyable conversation Terri Bay of Terri Bay Needlework Designs about whitework, blackwork, hardanger, Lotus boxes, and Romanian point lace. Most of Terri’s designs are Ukrainian in their genesis, but she is starting to add other techniques, such as blackwork. She also enjoys Hardanger, samplers with specialty stitches, and is a fiber addict. We hope you enjoy this encore podcast with Terri Bay.–Christine and Gary

Wednesday has arrived and so has Debbie Rowley to fill in for Christine. We started with a list of topics and, after 45 min., discovered that we had basically ignored that list. However, you do get to learn about threads, thread tension, traveling and stitching, Debbie’s future studio, and a variety of other stitching and non-stitching topics. Sunday’s guest: Vonna Pfeiffer
