Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 1-20-21

Tuesday has passed and it’s time for another mid-week chat. Beth and Gary explore our need/desire to mix up our stitching activities and what we’d like that mixture to be. We also talk about the 100-day project challenge (the100dayproject.org and #ft100day2021) and how it might fit work with the concept of stream-of-consciousness stitching. Then we delve into the never-ending problem of thread/stash organization. We’d like to hear what you think about these topics. Sunday’s guest: Jennifer Clouston—Beth and Gary

White Diamonds ornament design by Debbie Rowley.

Wednesday has arrived and so has Debbie Rowley to fill in for Christine. We started with a list of topics and, after 45 min., discovered that we had basically ignored that list. However, you do get to learn about threads, thread tension, traveling and stitching, Debbie’s future studio, and a variety of other stitching and non-stitching topics. Sunday’s guest: Vonna Pfeiffer
