Stitch and Listen to (or Watch) Fiber Talk

Fiber Talk has three new interviews with needlepoint designers available. First up is Lorene Salt, counted canvaswork designer.

Lorene creates amazing geometric designs.  You can browse her designs, classes and available charts here.

The second interview is with Diane Bertelson.  Her name may not ring a bell, but I bet her company name, Pepperberry Designs, does!

Browse the Pepperberry website and prepare to fall in love there, too.

By the way, Fiber Talk did a video tour of Sign of the Arrow which is on YouTube.  Hint: it's not just another needlepoint shop.

Threadaholic Alert: Mary's Favorite Threads Video

If you love threads, you'll want to watch the latest video by FiberTalk.  Yes, I know FiberTalk normally does podcasts, but this week they interviewed Mary McGuire on camera to learn about her favorite threads.  You will see Mary's projects and hear her explain what thread was used where. Very interesting!

By the way, I'm guessing that these are the Wubbers flat-nosed pliers Mary mentions at the end of the video.

Mary's Ten Favorite Needlepoint Stitches: The Movie

The mid-week podcast for Fiber Talk is very short because of a video that Gary made with Mary McGuire, talking about her favorite stitches—with examples from her stitching.

If you like counted designs or Bargello, you'll see a lot of wonderful designs.  You'll also learn a lot about using a variety of threads in one stitch and see how the look changes with the thread.  Very neat video!
