Yes I am still here and have managed to do a little quilting, a little teaching and a whole lot of construction work in the last few months.

We are getting closer to having the alpacas on the farm - hopefully within a few weeks. If you would like to see what is happening on the farm - check out our Facebook page
PendleAlpacas.
I hope to maintain my Marsh Isle Fiber Arts blog a little bit better in the coming months with its main focus my quilting adventures.
I designed and taught two classes over the summer - the first here in my new home town of Jefferson, NC. This class was on dye painting and was a big success as you can see from the quilts.
