Our general schedule is: Eat, sleep, craft, repeat. We are planning a few, low-key, optional mini classes. The point of this weekend is not to be tied to a list of frenetic activities, but to relax and enjoy guilt free time to hang out with your friends, work on your current projects, start new ones, admire other's work, and did we mention RELAX?

You need some down time!

Come and play with us for some creative rejuvenation and connect with like-minded craft folks from near and far! Look forward to daily giveaways, and lots of fibery entertainment!

Spread out in the spacious and well-lit conference center with your fiber craft. Hang out with old buddies and make new friends who love fiber as much as you do!
