Photo credit: Val WestonAfter a very successful 2023 Tapestry of Talent Fiber Art Fashion show, the SW Women’s Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC) is planning the April 2024 show. The event is a fundraiser for SWFAC and showcases the variety of fabric arts practiced by the members. The items are one-of-a-kind pieces made especially for the show and include wearable art, accessories, quilts and other fiber art.
The fundraising event provides members a means to showcase their work, however, any fiber artist in the community is welcome to join SWFAC and submit work for the show. Items are juried by an experienced committee that is already hard at work planning the 2024 event.
If you are a fiber artist that makes wearable art or are a quilter, weaver, knitter, basket maker or other fiber art maker, we encourage you to join SWFAC and contribute your talent to the fashion show. Members must be signed up by February 1, 2024 to participate in the show. Email information@fiberartscollective.org for more information.

December 3 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “From Principle to Story: Karma, and Respect for the Interdependent Web”
Local, award-winning author Kris Neri will share how the Unitarian Universalist Seventh Principle, which stresses respect for the interdependent web of all existence, led her to a secondary career path and ultimately brought about the theme of her Samantha Brennan and Annabelle Haggerty Magical Mystery series.
“When I was fairly new at writing, I helped another writer to overcome some writing challenges, and I feel that karma paid me back with more than I would have asked for by directing me toward a teaching path and providing ideas I would use in my own writing,” Neri said.
