Yup, it's Fiona, the official Arizona Fiber Arts Retreat mascot. Kimberly, our founder, based our logo on a little sheep named Amy.  Amy was a Shetland living on her alpaca farm in Maine.  Every evening after receiving grain she, and her Finn friend, Sara, would run through the pasture kicking up their heels front and back.  What a delightful sight!  Sheep really do kick up their heels when they are happy!  

With your help, we're going to make FIONA a physical presence over the retreat weekend.​
​Over the next several months you will create your version of Fiona and then submit her when you check-in to the Retreat weekend. Independent judges will choose the 'Fiona Four'.
