Fiber Talk with Vonna Pfeiffer V

Quilt created by Vonna Pfeiffer.

It’s the final new show of 2018 and we’re more than happy to have Vonna Pfeiffer join us to end the year. In the show, we covered a mountain of topics including quilting, needlework finishing, stitching spaces, and ergonomics. It’s always fun to talk with Vonna and this time was no exception. Thanks to The Twisted Stitcher and all of the other guests who made 2018 a terrific year for Fiber Talk. Most important, thanks to all of our rapidly growing audience of listeners for listening each week and letting us know how much you enjoy the shows. We’ll take a short break for the holidays and be back on Jan. 2 to begin another year of needlearts conversations.–Gary and Christine
