DFW Fiber Fest has a new web address: www.dfwfiberfest.org
For now, the link will direct you to the existing website. Sorry the class schedule is hard to read, but it will be remedied soon.
Our web hostess extraordinaire is busy building the new website. Hopefully, everything will be up and running in the next few weeks.
We appreciate your patience!

What Day Is It?
I don't know about y'all, but I still haven't acclimated to the real world yet. Last weekend went by in a blur. I would get up, get dressed, drive to Fiber Fest, see, talk, buy, drive home, crash into bed, rinse and repeat. Mentally, I am recharged. It was a nice break from my real life and work, but physically, I've been dragging all week.
It's Friday, already! I need to get peppy!!! I'm sure the rest of the board feels the same way.
Anyway, we had so much fun. We hope that you did too. We really enjoyed meeting all of you. I know I've made some new friends.
Margaret Hubert, my new BFF, Karen Klemp and Joan Schrouder - our nationally known teachers - were fabulous. If you missed taking a class from any of them - go ahead and cry about it. You really missed some opportunities to grow in your craft. I've been knitting for more years than I care to remember, and I learned so much from them.
Our local teachers - Alissa Barton, Leef Bloomenstiel, Suzanne Corriera, Pat Coulter and Suzann Thompson - brought some great techniques to learn too. I know I am very lucky to live near enough these ladies to be able to cough-bug-cough, er, consult with them should the need arise.
Then - there was the vendor hall - Whoa! There was so much fiber packed in the Addison Conference Center, that the fumes were intoxicating! We had a great core of returning vendors - Fiber Circle, Fire Ant Ranch, Jojoland International, Stitch Elegance, FiberClouds, Fiber Lady, The Knitting Fairy, The Accidental Knitter, The Spirit of Knitting, MadelineTosh, and Yarn Again. New to Fiber Fest this year were Sealed With A Kiss (S.W.A.K), Brooks Farm Yarns, The Knitting Nook, Piscean Knits, Timber Lodge Alpacas, Great Yarn Company, Lone Star Arts, Trinity Ridge Alpacas and Spinning Straw into Gold. And let's give a shout out to Yarns Ewenique for sponsoring the bags that helped you carry your purchases home!
The Woolie Ewe did a marvelous job providing an entertaining fashion show on Friday night. Hats off and many thanks to Jill, Sue, Pam, Roxanne, Opal and the models for a great time.
Check back in the coming days - there will be pictures.

Sponsor Spotlight - The Woolie Ewe
If you've never been to the Woolie Ewe in Plano, you really should take the time and visit. There is fiber for every budget, and lots of it. The store is owned by mother and sister duo, Sue Tuley and Jill Brown.
There's always something going on at the Ewe. Last year was the Year of the Teacher, and such people as Debbie Bliss, Joan Shrouder and Louisa Harding, just to name a few, came to the store and taught many creative things. The tradition has continued this year. Already, Louisa Harding has returned and Fiona Ellis came and taught several classes. Lucy Neatby is set to come impart some of her wisdom and creativity in May.
This year at the Fiber Fest, the Woolie Ewe is sponsoring the fashion show on Friday night. It's free to everyone taking a class, and only $10.00 for those who are not. It will be ten dollars well spent. Join us to see the crafted items that will be modeled and get inspired to make something for yourself, or for that special someone on your gift list.
The Woolie Ewe is located at 1301 Custer Road #328 in Plano. Their phone number is 1-800-460-YARN(9276) or 972-424-3163.They are open Mon - Fri 10 to 6 and Sat 10 - 4:30. Be sure and stop by and say hello. You'll be glad you did.

Classes...Classes....Get Your Red Hot Classes Right Here!
Felted Scarves has closed. There were only six spots, and it is a popular class; so, it filled up quickly.
In a couple of weeks, we will be assessing the status of the classes, and the ones with low registrations will close.
If you are contemplating taking a class - do not delay. Just as classes can close for being full, they can also be cancelled for lack of interest.
So...what are you taking?
