July 28, 2015: fiber arts Tuesday

With only a couple of weeks left until the fall semester begins, I've been busy getting entries in order for September's Mountain State Fair. The photo above is one of the many (probably at least a hundred) quilts that hung in the exhibit hall last September. This year I'll be entering several items in the handspinning category: a skein of yarn made with wool I dyed using natural dyes, a skein of yarn yarn I spun (but didn't dye myself), and a knitted item made with my hand-spun yarn that I'm just finishing up. Last year everything I entered won at least one ribbon; I'm hoping to be just as lucky again this year!
