| Dallas Area Fiber Artists DAFA I just joined the Dallas Area Fiber Artists and wow what an amazing group of talented artists! I am hoping just a smidgen of their talent rubs off on me. The energy in the room is invigorating. And friendly...everyone was so welcoming and friendly! You could tell that they want new people to join their group. I left the meeting all excited to try new things. If you are a Dallas fiber artist you should consider going to one of their meetings.
