Donate your UFO's
If you're as enthused about your crafts as we are, you'll know exactly what we mean!
The Festival is again hosting a "New to You" UFO sale.
Finally, an appreciative home for your lonely, unfinished projects; treasured but never touched odds-and-ends; leftover materials; out-of-date patterns; long-unused tools of the trade and more.
We've all said it ... we'll sort them out one day, we'll finish that project (how old is your grandchild now?!), we'll find a great use for it. So here's a chance to spring clean, make more room in your studio, and put your UFO's to use. It's good fun for a good cause!
To donate, call the Festival 604-740-1229 or email us at info@gibsonslandingfibrearts.com. We want your UFO's!
