Fantasia: Stitched by Cindy Baldwin, designed by Debbie RowleyLearn how to make these needle minders from Jessica Grimm at jessicagrimm.com/blog.We are three sleeps from the weekend, so Cindy and Gary gathered to talk about needlework. This week’s topics include our upcoming Sunday show with Rita Gekht, followed by next week’s Stitch Hour in which Rita will give us a tour of the textile art exhibit at the New Hope Art Center. (Note that in the discussion, Gary got warp and weft mixed up. Warp is the vertical threads and weft is the horizontal.) We also talk about our plans for a Fiber Talk live event in March 2025 (send us your thoughts), basting ground cloth, the Tour de Broderie shows, wool and wool applique from The Woolen Needle, extending your Hardwicke Manor hoop stand, State Fair tips, Jessica Grimm’s needle minder finishing (learn how at https://www.jessicagrimm.com/blog), the value of alphabet samplers, breaking conventional practices when framing, and making ornaments. Sunday’s guest: Rita Gekht–Cindy and Gary
