The Sheep Shed Studio

In the past 40 years I have taught many workshops in
schools, homes,  universities, nursing homes,
churches, theme parks, conferences, etc.  In the past
we have traveled coast to coast and border to border
teaching Fiber Fun.

In the fall of 2003 while Llama trekking in northern
Colorado, I encountered a mosquito.  It was late Sept.
but I had to find a mosquito.  It bit me, I killed it.  Ten
days or so later, I was very ill.  I did not think much
about it at the time, even though my Daughter was
insistent that I had West Nile, but my health took a
turn for the worse, and I struggled for a year before
giving up and seeing a Dr.   The consensus was that I
indeed did have West Nile Virus.  It has been a long
battle during which time I stopped teaching across the
country except for some very special events.    I am
one who has relapses with the West Nile, Lucky Me!!!

We will try to hold some limited number events here in
the future.  I simply am not able to keep up with the
big groups we have hosted in the past 18 years.

THE LAST GATHERING
Sept. 25-26th, 2010

In 1993, I had decided to have a get together for the
students who had attended my workshops over the
years.  It developed into a yearly event with fiber folk
from all over attending,
and we named it
The Gathering
...The Story...

The Gathering was a fiber filled weekend that
happened the last full weekend of every September.
We did not charge for this weekend, with the exception
of a donation for the dye kitchen supplies.    You
brought sleeping bags, pillows, food for potluck,
drinks, spinning wheel, knitting, crocheting, weaving,
felting, whatever.   The dye kitchen had to have the
ever present "kitty" attached.  Donations for the use of
my mordants and dyestuffs were required, with a
minimum of $15.00, more if you were dyeing masses of
fibers.  You could bring your yarns or fibers for dyeing,  
or we had lots of fiber here for sale, as well as yarns.    
 Some years we have dyed up in the vicinity of 75-100
pounds of fiber over this weekend.   Spinning wheels
whirred nearly round the clock.  Much talking, story
telling, and laughing were ongoing.    
We made lots of friends over the years, some come
back during the year for a few days of a "house fix",
just a quiet visit, spinning, reading,
walking or just being.
We have enjoyed our times together, but I suspect that
I will not be able to host anymore large groups due to
the auto-immune diseases that continue to plague my
body.  It just does not work like it used to.

You are welcome to visit, give us a bit of notice if
possible, we are home most of the time shipping
orders of fibers and yarns round the world.
