Friends and Fiber Summer Retreat

Never has anyone had such a good time in a middle school.  Friends and Fiberworks is holding it's summer retreat this weekend at Enka - Candler Middle School in Asheville.  There were awesome classes, terrific vendors and goodie bags.  They had me at goodie bags.

 
Lisa and friends did a great job organizing the retreat.
 

Susan and I took a class with Franklin Habit. The subject was Photographing Your Fiber.  It was super informative and fun.  Franklin is charming and a cutie pie.
 
 
OMG people!   Miss Babs was in our class!

Melissa Yoder Ricks of Wild Hare Fiber Studio was one of the vendors and had beautiful batts.  I bought a lovely blend of wool and flax in the sea glass color way.  I am in love with this blend, spinning like buttah!

This is but a glimpse of the retreat offerings.  It was a wonderful opportunity to meet other Fiber people and take classes from wonderful teachers.  Well done Lisa and crew!
