Debra Greer has been a Fiber Freak since childhood. If she can bend, twist, dye or use it in any way, she's there! She loves knowing how to make things from scratch and LOVES functional art. Deb has spent her life playing with plants and fibers. She weaves on any loom she can get her hands on, invents looms, dyes everything in sight, spins and enjoys sharing these ancient arts with others. She studies yearly with her Navajo Friend and Teacher, Sarah Natani of Shiprock, NM and learns so much more than weaving from her gentle ways. Always, in Her Heart she does her best to Weave in Beauty.

Pat Anda found magic in fiber at age nine when she began sewing her own clothing. In 1991, she bought a spinning wheel as a decorator piece, but got hooked on spinning...then weaving, knitting, felting, and beading, and has taught and continues to take instruction in all of these crafts. She now adds cardmaking into the mix, integrating fiber and other media into the creation of the cards. She and her husband, Ed, live in Penrose in the home her parents began in 1931, enjoying family, friends, and the wide open spaces above Beaver Creek.
