WHAT IS FIBER FRENZY?
Fiber Frenzy is a chance to scoop up the arty, the
unusual and prized textiles at great prices. In contrast
to our annual garage sale, the pieces at Fiber
Frenzy will all be completed handmade artwork. Handmade fiber art will be donated by artists and the textile
art community and then offered to you at a bargain
price.
Purchase something special for yourself or a piece to donate to your favorite charity for their next fundraising event.
