Fiber Artists Drop-in Group
@Textile Center
Tuesdays, 9 to noon
Come in out of the cold and drop in to the fiber artists group that gathers every Tuesday morning. We are beaders, quilters, knitters, rug hookers, embroiderers, and any other kind of fiber arts you can think of. We work, we laugh, we consult, and suggest. There's a minimal fee and not much else required. It would be lovely to see you.

 THANK YOU On behalf of everyone here at Textile Center, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks for all who attended and contributed to our 20th Birthday Bash! There was great attendance and spirit, and with your help, the event raised more than $20,000 - funds that will help us to fulfill our mission of promoting and sharing the fiber arts. The success of this commemoration of Textile Center's twentieth birthday will help us to set the stage for the next twenty years of supporting the textile arts. A special thank you to our sponsors who made the event possible. All throughout the year we will be having celebrations, major national and international fiber art exhibitions, and special events - such as the grand opening for the new Metro Green Line on June 14. Stay tuned for updates. |
