Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 7-18-18

Arlene Cohen’s Coloris testing.

It’s amazing how Wednesday shows up at this time every week. Do not fear. We are prepared with an other Midweek Chat. Christine’s paying job in the way this week so Arlene Cohen of Works by ABC was kind enough to fill in for a conversation about FlossTube techniques, Coloris, stitching history, Jane Wood, Arlene’s design work, and Sarah Braizear. Sunday’s guest: Theresa Venette, Shakespeare’s Peddler.

Arlene Cohen is our guest this week. Who is Arlene? She’s an extremely versatile and talented needlework artist and lace maker, owner of the Etsy shop WorksByABC, and produces some of the most interesting and informative Flosstube videos available. Skilled with needle and thread? Yes, and then some. At the recently completed ANG Seminar, Arlene earned category first place, Judges’ Choice, Presidents Award, and Delegates Choice awards for her Spanish Savonnerie (Natalia Frank) piece, stitched on 40-ct. silk gauze. We hope you enjoy this week’s conversation in which we cover a wide range of stitching topics.–Gary and Christine
