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?

Sponsor Highlight - Yarns Ewenique

Today, I would like to spotlight one of our sponsors. For the second year in a row, they are making it possible to provide you with a FiberFest bag. We hand it to you with your reservation information at check in, and you can use it to hold purchases that you make in the vendor hall.

Yarns Ewenique, located on historic Camp Bowie Boulevard, is Fort Worth’s premiere destination for knitting needles, crochet hooks, sock yarn and “ewenique” fibers. Arriving soon are the new, redesigned Amy Butler knitting bags and the three new fabric patterns of Lexie Barnes bags with one new bag shape.

At Yarns Ewenique they are all about “GREEN”. Visit them and see the new spring lines of ecological cotton from Rowan, Mirasol, and others.

Yarns Ewenique has just launched its first “Ewenique Feet” Sock Club- six original sock patterns using high end sock yarn. If you missed the 2008 edition of “Ewenique Feet” look for information in the fall on their website for the 2009 edition.

Yarns Ewenique classes for knitting and crochet are filling up fast. Give them a call to reserve your spot.

Here's their contact information:
Yarns Ewenique L.L.C.
4111 Camp Bowie Blvd
Fort Worth, Texas 76106

And - when you stop in, be sure and thank them for their support of the DFW FiberFest!

Updates 1/22/08 - Classes and Vendors

Hey Fiber Fiends!

The Basic Sock and the Felted Scarves classes are almost full. If you were thinking that you might want to take one or both of these classes, now is the time to make the decision.

As for vendor space, we are trying to work out a configuration to include additional vendors, but at this time we are almost out of space. If you have sent in your reservation, please check to be sure that your check has cleared. If you have been debating about whether to come - don't debate too long!

Once the space is full, we will notify you that you are on a waiting list and will not deposit your payment until we can confirm a space. If there is no space available, your check will be returned. Of course you are still welcome to put an ad in the program and donate a door prize or raffle item, or provide goody bag items. All of these will get your name in front of the attendees, although obviously are not as good as the sales you will make.

Thanks!

Wanna Be A Vendor?

We've had a couple of requests for vendor packets through the comments section of our first post. Please direct requests for vendor packets to dfw-fiberfest@earthlink.net.

We may not catch your request on a timely basis if you leave it in a comment here, and we would hate to miss it.

At this point, I do not know how close we are to filling our spots, but will know more in the next week or two. Our past vendors were given the opportunity to reserve spots first, before we made spots available for new vendors. Do, however, turn in your application and check, if you are interested, because we fill the spots on a first-come, first-serve basis. If spots are filled before we get your check, we will send it back to you.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

DFW FiberFest Blog Gone Live!

By popular demand, we have created a blog for the DFW FiberFest in the hopes that we can communicate better with you.



Here's a picture of what we looked like one day before last year's FiberFest, trying to sort through lots of yarn for goody bags and raffles. You've heard of Where's Waldo? Well, here's our version...Where's Jerry?
