Thank you all for visiting and reading Fiber Femmes. “Great Women Building A Gracious World” make this frosty world a warmer place and each of you have added a few degrees of warmth to our lives. We are indeed grateful.
To our contributors: thank you all for graciously sharing your gifts of talent, time and energy. You have taught all of us so much and we’re just getting started!
Everyone, please visit the Enhance Your Stash adverts and buy something as soon as possible. Those special people took that first step with us and bought advertising and they deserve recognition; thanks for believing in the Fiber Femmes dream!
A special thanks goes to Catherine Hollingsworth for her Anchorage Daily News article on Fiber Femmes. Catherine is a delightful person and writes one of the two national knitting articles in the USA. Read her Sept. 12th article about Fiber Femmes at http://www.adn.com/life/arts/story/8185250p-8078193c.html
If you did something special for Spinning and Weaving Week, please let us know and we’ll celebrate with you; send photos if you have them.
Several Fiber Fellows have been submitted and it’s been fun reading about their contributions to the fiber arts and industry. Take a peek and vote for your favorite.
A new page called Fiber Femmes Travel has been added. We’ve found a lot of interesting fiber specific trips and thought this would be a good place to have links and information. If you know of other fiber trips, please let us know.
The yarn industry magazine is
Yarn Market News and Karin
Strom, Editor in Chief and her staff, make sure it's not only informative
but chock full of eye candy as well. The cover never fails to amaze,
inspire and delight and serves to set the tone for the (wool, of course
<g>) blanket between the covers.
Speaking of covers, Lisa Ventry has
crafted a breathtaking snowy dove with textured Fiesta yarns that supports
the title "Shear Joy! Give fleece a chance". To add to the cover's beauty
- the dove is perched on bamboo needles.
Cheryl Krementz, Contributing Editor,
interviewed Fiber Femmes Editors for the YMN E-Zine Watch and her
insightful article appears on page 10 of the October 2006 YMN issue.
Cheryl...please accept our heartfelt
thanks and gratitude for the delightful article. You certainly fit the
profile, "Great Women Building a Gracious World"!
We’re headed into late autumn to eventually celebrate the holidays of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day and others. Days grow shorter and nesting time means we’re burrowing in for the long haul with fibers, needles, hooks and patterns. It’s the season for lots of warm beverages, enticing edibles and thinking of loved ones near and far. Don’t forget to look at the FF Charities; all are worthy of your time and talents.
Let us know what you think of Fiber Femmes; talk about us in your blogs and, most of all…celebrate being a part of something as ancient as time and as necessary as food and shelter. As St. Francis de Sales once said, “Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.” In other words,
Fiber Femmes – Great Women Building a Gracious World
