Fibre Fest!

I'm thrilled to be a part of the Textile Museum's Fibrefest again this year!
Come down and see me along with all the other fabulous vendors!

Sept 10-11, 2016

Mississippi Valley Textile Museum Fibre Festival, Almonte ON

At two locations — the Museum, and the Almonte Arena—visitors will find demonstrations, vendors, and exhibits. Local guilds will demonstrate spinning, knitting, weaving, rug hooking, lace making, smocking and quilting. Vendors include spinners, weavers, and fibre artists from across the province, as well as quilt shops and alpaca farms.

This two-day festival of the fibre arts ends with the Lamb Race. At 4 pm on September 11th, hundreds of wooden lambs will be thrown over the falls in downtown Almonte, and the owners of the first three to reach the finish line will win fabulous prizes.

The Friends of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum will provide a tea room, featuring homemade goodies, beverages and sandwiches.

Admission to Fibrefest is $5.00 per day, which includes access to all sites.
