DH took me to the Quilt show in Madison last Friday, and the Sheep & Wool Festival Saturday. Sensory overload, so many ideas, so much beautiful stuff.
i have decided I need to learn how to quilt, something my mother has been trying to get me to do for YEARS, i picked up a "beginning" stencil kit and a template.
 i also need to learn to weave. the roving and yarns are too beautiful. something has to be done with it. i haven't yet convinced myself that i need to learn to spin, but weaving, that i want to learn. i told DH i wanted a loom for C-Mas.
i recently began knitting and crocheting again as therapy against depression. why did i ever stop? oh wait, i know--that evil four letter word WORK

works for me. i got so inspired walking around that i have actually dragged yarn and fabric and all kinds of stuff out, and i try to work on soemthing at least a little while every night. it's so nice and relaxinf and a world away from what i do all day long.

Liz, this was the one in Jefferson. I took classes last year. it was wonderful. i make two brooms, a whisk broom and a "regular" size one. i wanted to take the felting class this year, but didn't get signed up. maybe next year. this year we got to the barns as well and all the different breeds of sheep and goats, and the babies as well. the new born lambs were smaller than my cat, i swear they were!!
Dawn, i put Nov 8 on the Calendar :-) i love the Botanical Garden. really i love any kind of gardens....

Charlotte, if you have time for a little drive, the Chicago Botanical Garden in Glencoe the weekend of November 8. Their "Fine Art of Fiber" show is quite something too and would keep your head spinning!

Lori that's so sweet of you! We should try to get together long before then though, I know Rosemary had a blast the last time we all were together!

I live about 10 minutes from the fair grounds- I work part time at an outlet mall on the weekends and a few ladies stopped by after they were there and said it was awesome- one was from Iowa and another up by Rhineland- Liz you are more than welcome to stay with me next year if you would like!! Nat and I would love to have you!!

Was it the one in Jefferson? I wanted so badly to go, but would have only been able to be there for maaaaybe 2 hours, which the hour and 45 minute drive seemed hardly worth it then. Think it's worth a trip next year?
