It has been a great first day of the Columbia Gorge Fiber Festival! This morning I picked up my good friend, fellow designer M.E. Greene, Olive Knits, and we road tripped it to The Dalles, Oregon. This is just a quick post to let you in on the fun, and then I’ll post a full report sometime later. I hope you’ll enjoy this peek at this wonderful event!
Here is the beautiful venue as we arrived:
And inside:
Right away we found a place to knit. This is Marie working on her newest design:
And look at the view!
The fabulous Marketplace, which I can’t wait to explore more tomorrow:
Lovely grounds:
And finally, a Burgerville for dinner. I was thrilled when we drove into town and saw this. Burgerville, a Northwest classic!
Sweet potato fries. Perfection!
Tomorrow, two classes with Norah Gaughan, shopping in the Marketplace, a banquet featuring Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, and time to visit with new and old friends!
👍 on being able to attend such an event. I’m glad there is support for fiber creating.
Thank you, Stefanie. It was wonderful to see all the creativity and enthusiasm for the fiber arts!
