Who We Are Peggy Doney has always loved color.
Over the years she has painted, drawn, quilted, knitted, and taught four terrific children. A sweater pattern with small patches of subtle color led her to learn to dye, and a neighbor’s spinning wheel inspired her initial foray into spinning. Now, Peggy has eight wheels, numerous drop spindles, and has joined her new love of fiber and spinning with her perennial love of color.
Peggy takes every opportunity to demonstrate and teach what she has learned at both the wheel and the dye pot. She is a regular at demonstration days at Rockledge Ranch and The Pioneer’s Museum in Colorado Springs. Two of her wheels are dedicated to giving children the chance to experience yarn being born for themselves.
Jeff Doney is a fiber enabler. He has encouraged Peggy to pursue her fiber art. While roaming Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming with Peggy, he enjoys capturing the magnificence of Creation on film. His photographs chronicle Peggy’s fiber journey and serve as illustrations for her classes and lectures.
Why "The 100th Sheep?" In Matthew 18:12-14, Jesus relates this parable:
“What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. (NASB)
The story of the 100th sheep lends its theme to our name because God has created nothing more beautiful than His love and forgiveness for us. The Good Shepherd left all that He had and came to seek the lost sheep and make a way for them to return with Him to the fold.
Our choice of the name was a natural one, because we are that 100th sheep. We thank the Shepherd for His loving care and sacrifice for us!
