At the wonderful Plateau Farmers' Fiber Festival, Jr. Farmer found Miss Evelyn (our first spinning instructor from years ago) sporting one of his hand turned shawl pins! Asking her approval, we snapped a picture of it happily keeping this beautiful piece snuggly around her shoulders. Surprisingly, she did not make this particular piece (although she is a talented fiber artist) but won it at a local fiber event. She was especially pleased with how they went well together.
She and her hubby, Dan, are all too familiar with the work involved in the Shepherd's Extravaganza at the Washington State Fairgrounds so it was a relaxing treat for her to enjoy an event so close to home!
Only the Lord knew that 8 years after introducing us to our first spinning wheel, she'd be adorning her fiber arts with wood turnings from that 'youngster'! Ahhhh... *smile*
