This is what it's all about!

The Fabulous Fiber Fest was awesome!! Great Students, Great venue, Great shopping. For a spinner, this was the life!!

I left this weekend with a tremendous sense of fulfillment, having watched my students jump in and boldly learn new techniques, experiment with new colors and materials and be rewarded with beautiful, exciting yarns.

To my students:

You gave so much, it was an incredible experience for me. I look forward to seeing your work and seeing you again. I hope that my classes left you brave, energized and ready to do the brilliant work that is inside you.

At the end, for the students that wanted to give it a try, we spun silk from roving
