This week, Cindy and Gary talk about mental health and needlework, Gary and Beth and their hopeless stitch-from-stash effort, a Dritz storage box for perle cotton balls, Painters threads, Debbie Rowley’s mermaid design, Gay Rogers’ Drawn Thread Sampler sale, and the changing retail landscape and it’s impact on designers and LNSs. We hope you enjoy the show and encourage you to share with others. Sunday’s guest: Lori Pengelly of Pansy Patch Quilts & Stitchery–Cindy and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 2-1-23

It was warm in Connecticut in January says Jenifer’s project.

It’s Wednesday and we’re talking about needlework. This week we scrounged up several topics including Alison and Steve Cole and their casket project, the tremendous needlework Margaret Hagen showed us in last week’s Stitch Hour and the big sale going on now at The Essamplaire, the shocking fact that Gary has been stitching regularly and making significant progress, storing thread and the new stitcher organization products Jenny White of Lucky Jonquil is producing with her laser cutter, how tight to wind floss on bobbins, how we store thread is a reflection of our personalities, Jenifer’s temperature project, Jenifer’s temari group and its longevity, and whether we have stitching mentors. Sunday’s guest: Andrea Santiamo, new owner and editor of “Needlepoint Now.”–Jenifer and Gary

Stitched by Cindy Russell.

It’s Wednesday, Jenifer has returned from her hiatus, and we gathered for a needlework conversation. This week’s topics include what’s planned for the Fiber Talk 500th Show celebration. Lots of guests, giveaways, and general needlework fun will start at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, Sunday, May 29, on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Listen to this podcast to learn how to enter yourself for the drawings. We also talk about an upcoming project we’re doing with Gay Ann Rogers. Then we get to hear about Jenifer’s trip and the time she spent with her family of “makers.” We’re also treated to a verbal tour of Jenifer’s visit to A Stitching Shop in Denver. If you’re in the area, it’s clearly a shop to visit. Join us tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern for the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour. This week Beth will show us the beautiful fabric prints she’s been making and take us through the process she uses.–Jenifer and Gary
