Fiber Talk Midweek Chat, 11-12-25
The day after Tuesday has arrived and Cindy and Gary volunteered to spend some time talking about stitching. Our conversation focuses on new and upcoming Patreon shows and our Krista West conversation from Nov. 9. We spend most of the time talking about the two projects we plan to stitch from books we own. For Cindy, it’s the Celeste Fig by Christine Burton from the Inspirations book “Design Collective, Vol. 1.” For Gary, it’s Kevin the pheasant from Hazel Blomkamp’s “Crewel Birds” book. We also talk about what we carry in our stitching “go bags.” If you want to support all of the needlework content we produce, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter at patreon.com/FiberTalk.

How to Schedule Uninterrupted Stitching Time, Krista West, Avlea Folk Embroidery
This week we are joined by designer Krista West of Avlea Folk Embroidery (avleafolkembroidery.com). But we’re not talking (much) about her designs. Our focus for this conversation is Krista’s design weeks, which are periodic multi-day sessions in which she shuts the world out so she can focus on moving her design work forward. While Krista sets aside entire weeks, the techniques and practices she uses will work for stitchers who are looking for a day/afternoon/couple of hours of uninterrupted/focused needlework time. In the conversation, we learn how Krista prepares for a session and how she stays focused for several days. At the end of the show, you’ll also get a peek at some of the new things coming up from Avlea Folk Embroidery. Make some notes while you’re listening and give Krista’s techniques a try the next time you want to focus on your needlework, or any other project that’s not getting enough attention.—Beth and Gary Listen to the podcast: Watch the video You can listen by using the player above or you can subscribe to Fiber Talk through iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Audible, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Podbay, and Podbean.

America’s Tapestry: The Delaware Panel
The Embroiderers’ Guild of America (egausa.org) is sponsoring this week’s show about the America’s Tapestry Delaware project. In our June 7, 2025 show, we met Stefan Romero, creator of the America’s Tapestry project. The purpose of the project is to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with stitched panels from each of the 13 colonies that tell little-known stories about America’s formative days. To learn all of the details, listen to that initial show with Stefan. This week, we meet with Stefan and Delaware co-chairs Becky Gutin and Amy Gilley to learn how they mapped out how to stitch the Delaware panel, their approach to making it possible for needleworkers of all skill levels to contribute to the panel, and what a stitching session is like. To keep up with the projects in all 13 colonies, visit americastapestry.com. To follow the Delaware project, join their Facebook group and/or follow them on Instagram. All links are listed below. Also, if you want to support the overall project beyond stitching, visit the America’s Tapestry website for details.—Gary Listen to the podcast: Watch the video You can listen by using the player above or you can subscribe to Fiber Talk through iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Audible, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Podbay, and Podbean.
