And anything fiber or textile related is welcome.  Here are some possibilities but the list is endless: fabric (remnants, scraps, pieces), lace, clothing (unfinished, vintage, too big, too small, parts of garments), tools (knitting needles, crochet hooks, weaving tools, painting/printing items, stencils, stamps), paints, dyes, baskets, beads, looms, spinning wheels, roving, fleeces, food (!), plants, books, patterns, ribbons, yarn, thread, embroidery floss, needles, papers, felt, DVDs.  Alexa Urquhart will be our auctioneer!

Clean out your studio, your closets, and bring in all those items that you don’t want anymore---it will be someone else’s treasures!

Sharp and to the Point Felting

Some people, like me, make felt. Others, like Pris Lynch, make art. Wednesday night I left meeting totally inspired to play with color sometime this week. Our meetings keep getting better and better, promoting fiber and feeding the members wonderful ideas.
