Monthly Meetings
We meet on the 3rd Monday of every month. We meet in various ways including in-person, Zoom and a hybrid of in-person and Zoom.
Visitor admission is $5, except for special guest presentations, when it is $10.
We have a Members show and tell at every meeting. ‘Show’ means sharing of fibre related accomplishments. ‘Tell’ is the sharing of anything that may be of interest to members (shows, workshops, talks).
2024 Program Lineup (Subject to change)
- Monday, November 19 – Monthly Meeting by ZOOM only- Guest Speaker Joanna Dermenjian with Canadian Heritage quilts

Workshops
Fibre art workshops are hosted once or twice a year from a variety of talented artists from across Canada and internationally.
March 4, 2025 Robin Whitford will do an “Introduction to Punch Needle” workshop. She is a local, official, Oxford punch needle instructor with a lot of experience working with different materials. Robin will supply her own Oxford Punch needles and frames for members to use during the workshop. Pre-stretched linen plus a variety of yarns to complete the project will be included. The project will be designed to be completed during the workshop. More info on cost, location and hours to come.
