Our Heros!

Orna Willis ran into the bane of teachers this week—supplies for her kits were lost in the mail! But the folks at Access Commodities, Caron, Edmar, Rainbow Gallery, ThreadworX and Wilchelt all came through by rushing replacements to her so her class would have what they needed.  You guys are The Best!  💙💚💛💜🖤

Catch Up with Fiber Talk: Stitch While You Listen

With Holiday Madness in full force here in Chilly Hollow, I've not been keeping up with the podcasts from Gary and Christine at Fiber Talk.  I'm about to remedy that since things are calmer after Christmas.  Like the fun bubble designs from A Poore Girl Paints?  Here's an interview with Amy Poore.

Are you a counted canvas worker?  The Fiber Talk team catches up with Orna Willis a second time.

Orna Explains Why

Orna Willis doesn't always follow the standard way of doing things in her instructions for her counted designs.  In this interesting essay she explains why her Rhodes Stitch has one extra stitch on top, why she uses the "wrap stitch" method for stitching paths and why she matches her beading thread color to the canvas, not the bead.

Very interesting!
