Fleece and Fiber.....sheep and other animals


Here's where we will be next weekend. Hope you can stop by and say hello.

2nd Annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Fair

10 am til 5 pm...in the event of heavy rain it will be postponed until Sunday.

The Long Island Fleece & Fiber Fair is a one-of-a-kind event on Long Island that brings together the diversity of fiber arts activities! Visitors will learn and experience how local artisans craft wool and other animal fiber into beautiful finished pieces of clothing and art. The fair provides a fun-filled day of demonstrations and hands-on learning.

My Americana Sheep Pincushion will be available for purchase there, in my Etsy Shop or email me thimblefolk@comcast.net

How Much Fun Is This????


Lots of colors....this package put a smile on my face. I had such a good time choosing the colors of felt. If you are looking for 100% wool felt in various sizes go to feltonthefly.etsy , Janet is a delight to work with and she has wonderful felt. I finally sat down and crafted some pincushion rings....only took a year to do it, but I am pleased with the results. They were a hit at the show this weekend and I've put a few in my Etsy Shop.

Getting ready for the next show, details to follow soon.
Have a great day!!
