Fiber Talk with Vonna Pfeiffer II

From Sea to Shining Sea by Little House Needleworks, stitched by Vonna Pfeiffer.

We’re very pleased to have The Twisted Stitcher return for a second visit. While we enjoyed another great conversation with Vonna Pfeiffer about stitching in general and the projects she’s working on, our focus this week was on techniques and tips. We also talked at length about the pieces Vonna receives for finishing

and how what she sees can help you improve your stitching and deliver needlework that will provide finishers with the best opportunity to produce a perfect finished product. We also get an update on Vonna’s progress in her all-America room. Don’t miss this podcast with one of the hobby’s most talented stitchers and finishers.–Christine and Gary

We’re back together for this week’s mid-week chat. Out of the gate we congratulate Mary Grosser, winner of our second Hands Across The Sea Samplers The Old Scot chart. We’re giving away one more copy of The Old Scot, so listen to the podcast to learn how you can win. Of course, big thanks to Nicola and Hands Across The Sea for providing these giveaway charts. Also in this show, we talk about the latest video from HATS, Nicole actually hanging something on her walls, and the latest videos from The Twisted Stitcher. Then we go off on a long excursion into stitching technique, which was fun for us and we hope helpful to at least some. We also hope we didn’t make the pros cringe.–Gary and Christine
