- Jan Hench
- We every so often meet people that are so securely inolved in what they like to do that they sparkle and it is hard not to want to join right in and sparkle, too when you talk with Jan. She fell for tatting and works with local and national tatting groups. This is not a dieing art with Jan around. her patient enthusiasm is infectious.
- Juaquetta Holcomb
- Is a spinner's inspiration being unfettered by convention in her artform and her whole career as a fiber artist. She can be spotted spreading the wonder of her wares locally at markets and faires and nationally by invitation. You can ask her about airports and spinning wheels and she will surely have stories.

There is a new baby due in her family and I am sure he or she will be wrapped in knitted love!
