Fine Art of Fiber Show....
It’s November—and you know what that means. It’s time for the annual Fine Art of Fiber show at the Chicago Botanic Garden up in Glencoe. If you like quilts—then go check this out on Friday Nov 6th through Sunday Nov 8th.
The event is hosted by three North Shore fiber arts groups—the Illinois Quilters Guild, North Suburban NeedleArts Guild and the Weavers Guild—and showcases a variety of handcrafted items from original quilts and woven wall hangings to clothing, knitwear and dolls.
This year’s show will also feature two our of Quiltology quilts—including “Cooler by the Lake” pictured left. (note—yes, I’m writing the pattern for this one and should have it printed up in a week!)
The FAoF show, sales boutique and demonstrations are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day in the Regenstein Center.
A lecture by Debbie Wada of Kasuri Dyeworks titled, “Japanese Textiles” will be held at 1pm on Friday.
A silent auction of unique, hand-made pieces will be held from 10am to 3pm daily and the show’s annual raffle quilt winner will be drawn at 4p on Sunday.
Admission to the Garden and to all Fine Art of Fiber events is free. Parking is $20. Additional information and directions are posted to fineartoffiber.org.
