pink sampler finish

I have a finish. The pink sampler is quilted and bound and ready to be gifted to my friend who loves pink. This is one of my one monthly goal finishes. I received these blocks as an orphan adoption. you can read about it here. Many thanks to Cathy. I love it.

I brought home a few treasures from the fiber fair. I have never spun alpaca before, and this lady was very encouraging, so I bought this from her alpaca named Halesisa.

As I sit more and more, I thought this lamb fleece would be comfy. The gray stripe is a merino combed roving for me. And the dark roving was a blend for my hubby.

I haven't heard of this sheep before in our markets. It's called Gotland. The Gotland, also called the Gotland Pelt, is a breed of domestic sheep named for the Swedish island of Gotland. wikipedia

The fiber is very soft.

And then there was this crazy color lady with a booth full of all kinds of color, and I had to add some to my stash.

When will I find the time to spin again? I love the quiet, calm of spinning, but, I forget it when I am looking for something to do. I have a few hand stitching projects that keep me busy. This yummy fiber is too tempting to resist. soon....

Fiber Fair

Hubby and I spent a day at the Green castle Fiber Festival. Greencastle is Southwest of us enough so that there were more Spring blooms everywhere. This tree was so amazing.

The colors  of roving were inspiring.

But this custom spinning wheel was very unusual. It reminded me of the Jetsons cartoon.

I hand stitched the hexie stars to their squares during the car ride. Plenty of multi - colored fabric for the RSC 17 challenge

And this little guy is spending some alone time with Grandma and Grandpa.

We have Easter egg hunting, and birthday caking, and spoiling to do. The first thing all my Grandchildren do when they visit is grab their scrapbooks and look through them. It reminds me that I haven't added anything to them in a long while.

Happy weekend ahead..
