InFiber Collaboration

A theme for the collaboration was discussed and Four Seasons was discussed.  Katie was out of town for the InFiber meeting and the theme was not brought up at the February InFiber meeting.  We will need a sign-up sheet for the collaboration.  This will be revisited at our February 19 meeting. Below are resources regarding spirit dolls.

Greenfield Fiber Show

The 20 N Gallery in Greenfield will have a fiber show in the gallery in May.  The doll group is invited to participate.  Tables will be provided, the group will provide the boxes and drapes to exhibit our dolls.  The dolls can be the challenge dolls from 2021 and any other dolls we would like to exhibit.  Recreating the 2021 doll show display will be the easiest.  Set up will be May 2 and 3rd.  

2022 Programs

Several meeting programs will need to be rescheduled due to the meeting room closure at the library.  We will discuss this when we can meet in person again.

January Program:  Doll Boots
