We have converted to a "DIY" Fiber News Bulletin. This will take the place of our former statewide bulletin of fiber events, exhibitions, opportunities, workshops, news and more. Now everyone is able to enter notices, announcements, for sale ads, and other items of interest to the fiber community.
When we have Maine Fiberarts news that we feel is important, we will include it in our once a month (or every other month) email.
There is a fee of $25 per announcement that is payable on our shop. Once the payment is made a link will be sent to the online form for entering the ad or announcement. Once the form is submitted, the item will be reviewed for clarity and posted as soon as possible.
Items will be active until you notify us, or for a period of three months, whichever comes first. We will be posting the ads and announcements in this space below, so any links people have saved over the years will still go to this page when they are looking for notices and news.

I have a lot of wonderful ART BOOKS (mostly fiber-related) I need to dispense with. I have been going through my rather (!) extensive library and have decided to downsize. I am offering the books for $4 each, and $10 for 3 books. They are in very good condition. Quite a variety of media: art quilts, weaving, rug hooking, collage, knitting, fabric design, you name it!
