A Summer of Workshops- CT, ME and Quebec!

It’s hard to believe the air has turned and kisses of Autumn are starting to appear! It feels like yesterday I was iced into Winter!  It’s been a whirlwind Summer and I’m working on a couple “in review” posts..  but in the meantime there are lots of new things brewing for the Fall!

Without those boundaries, there’s a lot of things that can happen within the cloth. Handspun creative yarns really sing when woven within these pieces.
