Fall Jamboree

Bill and I went to Pioneer Settlement just a half hour south of us.  We enjoyed the sunshine and chilly temperatures and all the crafts displayed at booths.  They had lots of reenactment areas and of course, my favorites were the spinning, weaving and dyeing areas! 

We did enjoy the corn on the cob  where they boiled the corn in this big cauldron.  The warmth was appreciated, too!  (We have a cold snap pushing through and it was only 60F!)

I learned of a group of fiber enthusiasts that meet monthly at the Settlement and I will be joining them in a few weeks!  This was my goal for going-to find other women who want to explore spinning and weaving. 

I also discovered the joy of the indigo dye pot and have plans to grow some of my own next Spring!  Nice place to savor the then and now of fibers!
