Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 4-10-24

Elizabethan Treasures from Linda Barry, considered by Jean to be one of the best whitework samplers ever published.

It’s Midweek Chat week and Beth and Gary connected through our respective internet providers to talk about eyeglasses and what we learned from Kelly Lea Teske, supporting Ukraine designer Ekaterina at stitchyprincess.etsy.com, selecting projects vs. being influenced by stitching friends, projects we have that need to be at the top of the pile, stitching in groups vs. alone, whether we could produce an exhibition with our finished pieces, stitching lights/magnifiers, group projects, choosing silk or metallic threads, and whether we would rather have talent or determination. Sunday’s guest is the Nashville Needlepointed, Lita O’Hara.–Beth and Gary
