The Focus on Fibre Art Association (FFAA) is a society whose aim is "to encourage, foster and develop among the citizens of the community excellence and appreciation of fibre as an art form". To accomplish this we sponsor biennial juried competitions and shows of fibre art encompassing traditional rug hooking, quilting, needlework, textile design, hand knitting, weaving/tapestry, cloth dolls and wearables (clothing/accessories in any technique).
Board meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month except January, July and August at 7pm at the Smitty's at Westmount. Everyone is welcome! RSVP @ darlenebayley@yahoo.com.
Fabric Bag: A zip bag with fabric, threads, ribbon, beads and found objects is given to one board member at the end of each meeting. She is to use materials from the bag, add some from her stash and create something for the next meeting. These 'somethings' may be any thing, any size, and are displayed on the website. Examples below.

Our goals are: to promote fibre artists, to create an awareness of fibre as art and to highlight the benefits of creating fibre art.
