Gary makes significant progress with his new stitching room/studio.

Illness shut us down for a week but Gary is on the mend and the midweek chatting resumes. This week’s conversation focuses on Beth’s burning desire to start a painted-canvas project and how to approach it, progress on Gary’s new studio and how it will be set up, and making a trip to the Needlepoint Club House to help Beth spend money. Join us tonight when the Fiber Talk Stitch Hour returns with returning guest Dima Santina. We gather at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on the Fiber Talk YouTube channel. Sunday’s guest: Michelle May, The Raspberry Rabbits–Beth and Gary

Fiber Talk with Daniel Ravan

Rainbow Gallery threads.

One of the biggest factors making needlework so much fun these days is the wide variety of threads that are available. When it comes to variety and uniqueness, Rainbow Gallery is definitely the leader. This week, in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and Avlea Mediterranean Folk Embroidery (avlea.life), we talk with Daniel Ravan, CEO of Rainbow Gallery. It’s an insightful discussion into how the company has dealt with the pandemic and the demands it has placed on needlework materials, how Rainbow Gallery produces threads, and what inspires the next offering. It’s always fun to learn about what’s behind the materials we enjoy using and it was enjoyable to learn how Rainbow Gallery produces their products.–Gary
