Fiber Arts Festival

There are a number of arts & crafts guilds in the Albuquerque area.  Every other year they band together and put on a Fiber Arts Festival.

I decided to go today and had a thoroughly good time.  Lots of lovely fiber/textile items to look at.  I bought some fat quarters and saw a friend I hadn't seen in a while. 

Here are some of the fun items that were at the show.  We start with a lovely hooked rug.


















Then there were some kooky and fabulous dolls.  This first doll was made by a member of the local doll makers guild.















This next doll is a stunner made by a man named Arley Berryhill who makes dolls professionally.


















Of course there were quilts and quilted wallhangings galore.  Some were traditional.














Others were more whimsical.


















All in all - a fun way to spend some time at the Fairgrounds.
