I know that PFG is on my “must visit” list and I’m sure it’s on yours too. Until I get there, I will be spending time hanging out in their Etsy shop.

Also, don’t forget, PFG is one of our Leather and Lace Challenge Collection hosts (click the link to see the list of amazing artists).  In fact, PFG will be the first stop for the collection so they will actually be the location to debut the yarns!  If you can’t get to Portland, but live along the East Coast of the US, here is the planned schedule for the host locations:

Portland Fiber Gallery and Weaving Studio – Portland, Maine – 10/27/12 to 11/13/12

 Iron Horse Fiber Art – Natick, Massachusetts – 11/17/12 to 12/5/12

Madison Wool – Madison, Connecticut – 12/10/12 to 12/28/12

Cloverhill Yarn Shop – Catonsville, Maryland – 1/4/13 to 1/22/13

Wooly Belle – Vinton, Virginia – 1/26/13 to 2/13/13

Downtown Knits – Apex, North Carolina – 2/19/13 to 3/8/13

Tropical Weaver’s Guild – Lake Yale, Florida – 3/14/13 to 3/17/13

 Picasso’s Moon Yarn Shop and SWAY Guild Art Yarn Festival – Sarasota, Florida – 3/22/13 to 4/21/13

That’s all for now, my fiber friends.  We will be back in a few days with another featured artist.  All my best, Arlene
