WOOLLEY FIBER FOLLIES OCTOBER 20!

Woolley Fiber Follies!

Our first (annual?) skills-sharing day is scheduled for Saturday, October 20th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Wicker Road in Sedro-Woolley.

This is a preview of events!

Local quilters will conduct 45-minute demonstrations throughout the day on quilting, sewing, and stitching techniques that they are skilled in.  Like binding a quilt, applying mitered borders, hand-stitching for embellishment, and so much more!

These are local folks who want to share their expertise with you and to stir up interest in quilting!  After all, the Woolley Fiber Quilters 4th annual quilt show will be May 31-June 2, 2013 and you'll want to have your entries ready!

Cost for the Fiber Follies will be $5 for the day and we'll encourage preregistration when it gets closer to the time. 

And if YOU have a specialty skill that you would like to demostrate, contact us via this blog site and we'll get in touch! 

There are SO MANY quilters in this area who are talented and willing to share their skills with others.  You'll want to be on hand for the fun!

Check back here!
