Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 10-2-19

Gary and Ellie Pfeiffer will be starting a new podcast called The Artist Nook.

Another week has flown by and we’re back to chat again. This show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery, which is our weekend destination. We’ll be attending the Claudia Dutcher Bristol Orphanage Samplers lecture series and workshops and doing some broadcasting along the way. This week we talk about our plans, along with more on the Queen’s sampler, a new podcast Gary is doing with Ellie Pfeiffer, and Vonna’s frustrations with silk threads. We also get to hear from Vonna’s therapist.–Vonna and Gary

Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 9-4-19

Vonna finished this. Someone else stitched it.

The midweek conversation is between Vonna and Gary, with Sassy Jacks Stitchery sponsoring the show. This week we talk a bit about the Queen’s Sampler Project, sponsored by Sassy Jacks, in preparation for our video update later in the week. We also talk about whitework and determining ground-cloth size. There is no memory of what we talked about for the remaining 45 min. But it was fun. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did recording it.–Vonna and Gary

REPOST: Fiber Talk with Deb Jochim

NOTE: This is a repost of the Aug. 4, 2019 show. Due to a file uploading error, some podcast apps did not pick up the podcast. Here’s hoping this repost fixes things. Sorry for the hassle. Gary

Our guest this week is Deb Jochim, owner and editor of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher magazine. This week’s show is sponsored by The Attic Needlework shop in Mesa, AZ, where samplers rule. Our conversation with Deb explored how the magazine got started, what Deb is doing with it today, Deb’s stitching and design work, and Vonna’s finishing contributions. It’s a good look behind-the-scenes of a terrific magazine created by a talented needleworker. We hope you enjoy the show.–Gary and Vonna
