Wow what a fun weekend
The Fibre Fest came and went so fast. It was a wonderful weekend and everyone who attended enjoyed themselves. Here is a link to Lynettes Blog - She has great pictures of the Campbell River area, the People's choice gallery and of the painting she did on my scarf. I wanted a Christmas theme to the scarf and she captured that for sure. It will be great to wear next Christmas.
Stay tuned to the blog there will be lots more pictures coming soon

Press release this week
Check out the People’s Choice at Vancouver Island Fibre Fest!
An eye-catching display by talented fibre artists from near and far will be one of the many draws when Vancouver Island Fibre Fest opens its doors May 3 through 5.
The People’s Choice Gallery will host an array of creations – and local knitters, weavers, quilters and others textile artists are welcome to submit items to be featured.
It all starts Friday, May 3. The vendor’s mall will be open from 5 to 6:45 p.m. Make sure to come down early to find some great bargains and unique items.
The opening reception starts at 7 p.m. that evening with a parade of incredible hand knit, woven, quilted, sewn and stitched items! The Sewing For Fun class from the Community Centre will lead the parade followed by fibre artists of all stripes. Each artist will describe their creation and give a brief story of the inspiration behind the making it. All pieces shown will be displayed in the People’s Choice Gallery, which opens on Saturday. If you have textile art to show, please call Judy at 250-286-1161.
Friday evening will also be a time to meet some of the workshop instructors. Plus, there’ll be door prizes and mingling with other creative fibre lovers and munching yummy appies thanks to students from the Cooking Basics classes.
Admission to the opening reception is by donation, with all proceeds going to support the City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture Departments specialized recreation programs.
