From the Animals to the Finished Product- Black Sheep Gathering

Ol'Blue Eyes!!! He was so sweet!!!

Black Sheep Gathering was Fantastic!!! It was different as all the
outside vendors had to move into the main building. There were

113vendors,I was told. Of course all the animals and fiber were there.

 You can see the whole process of animal, to fiber, to wonderful art

I had decided I absolutely did not want to take home more

yarn or roving (I have a room full!!! You can imagine with

all my embroidery, spinning and knitting!) But this does

not preclude weaving! I got some 10/2 mercerized cotton for

Overshot place mats, another shuttle and a hook. Happy I found

exactly what I needed.

And the display of Competition Items:

Lovely felting!! Bremen-town Musicians.

Lots of my favorite Border collies/ felted

Hand spun/ Hand knit

Woven? Couldn't find a description on it,
but it is VERY NEAT!!!!

I love this shawl!!!

Pretty wing scarf

And last but not least... Best Of Show

My friends and I look forward to this day every year. Black Sheep
is the best in Oregon!!! Wonderful artists represented.
