Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 10-20-21

This tree, filled with beaded ornaments, is the object of a fund-raising effort at the Attic for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

It’s two days before Friday and Jenifer and Gary decided to do some chatting. Our topics include Fiber Talk activities at the Attic; answering the burning question: What do men talk about when stitching?; a fund raiser at the Attic for the the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and more on the confidence gap between males and females and whether the quest for perfection is a good thing. Sunday’s guest: Victoria Matthewson.–Jenifer and Gary

Fiber Talk Stitch Hour, 10-21-20

Please support Needle In A Haystack.
Please support Sassy Jacks Stitchery.

Last night, we had a terrific conversation with Tricia Nguyen of Thistle Threads (thistle-threads.com) about 17th Century whitework samplers. The show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery (sassyjacksstitchery.com) and Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com). If you weren’t able to join us live, make some time to enjoy the recording. Those samplers and the people who stitched them were fascinating.
