Bluemont Festival

I love this little festival - so many crafts!  Apple dumplings at the Methodist Church!  And....all the fabulous handcrafted goods from the members of Blue Ridge Spinners and Weavers.  There are so many beautiful items...and the sales really kept our cashiers busy!

 

 

PLUS...we get to demo spinning and weaving as part of our booth.  Kids LOVE to touch and play...and a festival like this is the perfect place for them learn a new skill and try it out.   Beth seems to really enjoy teaching these kids the finer points of rag rug weaving....

There was a LOT of spinning going on as well....

 

And even some supported spindle spinning.  Of course, one of the things I love is checking out the alpacas that come to the festival too!

Little cuties!
