The Sew-op is having a "taking session" on Thursday, September 4, from 2-4 PM. Like our yard sale, it's an effort to downsize our stash in advance of our reopening for the fall. The selection is reduced but so are the prices - unlike the yard sale, everything will be free.
The Tunbridge World's Fair is coming up September 11-14. There are always lovely quilts, knitted and crocheted items, embroidery works, and other eye candy. If you want to participate, you'll have to be perky for pre-registration (Sep 1) but you can register on the spot Sep 10 as long as you have no more than 5 items and show up before 5:00 (pre-registered items may be dropped off until 6:30). Here are the details.
Further down the road, Vermont North By Hand is having their Open Studio Tour October 4-5. Most of the participants do not work with fiber, but there are three weavers and a coatmaker among the nineteen of them. The majority of studios are in Corinth, with the rest in an arc to its east. See the online map or look for a red pamphlet about the event.
Finally, White River Yarn's sixth annual Green Mountain Fiber Festival is November 15-16 at the Wilder Center.
