Wow what a fun weekend
The Fibre Fest came and went so fast. It was a wonderful weekend and everyone who attended enjoyed themselves. Here is a link to Lynettes Blog - She has great pictures of the Campbell River area, the People's choice gallery and of the painting she did on my scarf. I wanted a Christmas theme to the scarf and she captured that for sure. It will be great to wear next Christmas.
Stay tuned to the blog there will be lots more pictures coming soon
