Kathy Belt:  Kathy Belt, when she's not living in the present, has been living in the past for over 30 years.  She's always been interested in string and string theory (not the physics type).  To that end, she has learned embroidery, tailoring, quilting, spinning (on drop spindles, top whorl spindles, charka and supported spindles), has crocheted for 30 years, tatted for 20 and in the last 15 years has added sprang, the lucet, loop braiding, finger weaving, nalbinding, netting, and knitting to those things she can talk about intelligently.  Because both her father and her husband were in the military, she has traveled extensively (37 countries so far) and moved frequently (house number 36).
In her spare time, she belongs to a Medieval Re-enactment group (The Society for Creative Anachronisms), vegetable gardens, hunts and fishes, and loves to read (especially books with foot notes).

Margo Hanson:  Margo Hanson, with the help of her husband Raymond, has been raising Border Leicesters since 2008, near Twin Valley, MN.  The Hansons spent most of their adult lives in Alaska where Margo was a K-1 teacher. When they retired to MN, they decided to get a flock of sheep to keep the old pastures mowed off.  With sheep came wool, and Margo decided to learn to spin and felt her own fleece. To keep the fleece clean, the sheep are coated from late fall to shearing time.

Teresa Kukowski:   Teresa of Hollyhock Alpaca Creations is a vendor at Farm to Fiber Festival.   She knits, spins, dyes, felts, weaves, and loves all things alpaca.
