Fibres and Fabrics Take up Residence.

Wednesday, 3rd August 2011, and Fibres and Fabrics meet in their new home for the first time. Lots of helping hands went along to unpack and the library, under Birte's tender direction, is looking quite at home in the cold room. Members enjoyed the novelty of staying at their tables and not having to move for the meeting. Fiberians are flexible and adaptable and will make the most of every given challange and it show! May our stay in the shed be happy, inspiring and welcoming to all.

And here we have the Possum Palace. Is that a royal blue velvet curtain I see? In Annette's words "it's where the resident possum sleeps, he was there yesterday but up a bit higher from the bulge in the bottom of the blue fabric. Not sure what the consensus is on him, but if he goes another will move in, so maybe better the one we know than the one we don't.. lol.." Perhaps we should run a competition to give him (let's hope it's a him and not a pregnant her) a name and just adopt him. Leave your suggestions in the comments below. (I've adjusted the settings so that it's easier to leave comments - give it a try?)

Farewell Farmhouse

Wednesday 27th July 2011 marked the last meeting of Fibres and Fabrics at the Historical Farmhouse.

Suzanne, Pam and their band of stalwart workers have sorted and packed, cleaned the old and the new, organised the removalists and ..... hey presto! Well done ladies! You've done so well.

The next meeting will begin an interim era in a shed at the Showgrounds. Watch this space for pictures of the new location.

End of an Era.

An era of Fibres and Fabrics is being packed up into boxes for the move to temporary accommodation in a shed at the Show grounds.  Mixed feelings abound! The Farmhouse in Castling Street, one of the Historic buildings, has been home to Fibres and Fabrics for nearly a quarter of a century and holds lots of memories for members. But the future looks exciting with the City Council having allocated the group land on which to build as soon as sufficient funds have been raised. This is a huge challenge facing Fiberians, which they will no doubt meet head on.
