Welcome to the debut issue of

Fiber Femmes!

Great Women Building a Gracious World

Thank you for the outpouring of well wishes and kind comments from fiber enthusiasts all over the world. We feel we’ve hit upon a niche market and, with your help, will bring you Fiber Femme news from all over the world for many years.

Thank you for forgiving us our little glitches and the odd misspelled word for it’s due to our excitement and enthusiasm we sometimes miss the mark. Even so, we feel Fiber Femmes is a never-ending already ancient story and we’re merely spokes in a continuing wheel, threads in the story…if you don’t mind the obvious <g>.

This issue brings more exciting articles, photos, fiber news, book review, guild coverage, charity focus and more.

Please note Spinning and Weaving Week is October 2-8, 2006 and loads of “Ideas That Work” can be found at the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. site.

And, two of our favorite fiber festivals, Fall Fiber Festival and Southeastern Animal Fiber Festival, are October’s shoulder weekends. Please see our fiber festival calendar for more information.

Don’t forget to…send in your fiber photos, your Tombstone, your fun fibery websites…share the wealth and then, pass along our website to your friends and lists. Check out the fun submissions from last month!

Do you have a favorite Fiber Fellow? Nominate him for Fiber Fellow of the year by sending in a short blurb and photo of him doing something fibery. Please send nominations ASAP; we'll showcase them in the Nov/Dec issue and by year's end you'll have elected your favorite guy. He'll be featured in the Fiber Femmes Jan/Feb 2007 issue.

And please...mention Fiber Femmes in your blogs.

Life is FIBERY good!

Let the Fiber Femmes Fun begin!
