General News Update


CREATIVE FIBRE FESTIVAL 2013 -

'Fabric of Life' - 25 - 28 April

Keep up to date with what's on offer for this full festival. Not only will there be education, trades, exhibitions – with a new category, there is also a full fashion parade called Runway.

Go to www.creativefibre.org.nz or fibrefestival2013.blogspot.co.nz for more information as to what  is planned and start making your creations towards this marvellous event.

Fashion shows do not happen every festival as they involve a lot of organising – so get your thinking caps on.

To add a bit of incentive to felters, NZ Felters are sponsoring four prizes – two in Exhibition and two in Runway – each prize to value of $250.

The blog is still seeking someone or two to add to the blog for your enjoyment – its still seeking information to put on it – have we lost interest in keeping up the effort? Are we all happy with the red hen’s work? Why don't we support her?
