2020 Fundraiser Update!
If you missed out, here is your chance!
We had reports of issues with purchases over the weekend, so Custom Ink has graciously
allowed us to extend the fundraiser through Monday, October 26th at 9pm PST.
Please Note:
Due to this extension, the new estimated delivery date will be Nov 12th.
This has the added benefit of allowing extra time to reach the minimum sales required to print the new water bottles!
If you are willing to spread the word, here is the link to the fundraiser information:

2020 Fundraiser Announcement
Since we can't be together in person this year, support us virtually by choosing from
six soft & comfy shirt styles or pick your favorite Tervis 24oz water bottle!
Your support will help keep Fiber Fusion a free-to-attend event for everyone!
As you may know, 2020 was the year we were planning the move into the newer building. None of that planning is going to waste. We have already started working on 2021 and your support will help offset the cost of the larger building.
Thank you for supporting your friendly neighborhood Fiber Fusion!

Announcement from the Chairman:
Greetings Vendors, Volunteers, Instructors, Patrons, and Fans of Fiber Fusion Northwest,
First off, thank you to everyone for your continued support of our event, even in these trying times.
I need to start by profusely apologizing for the delay in news. Sadly, it is not good. We tried our best to find creative solutions to move online this year. We welcomed you to join us on a journey into uncharted waters. Well, ‘thar be dragons!’ Unfortunately, with our proverbial ship adrift, we are unable to bring Fiber Fusion online for 2020.
An event like Fiber Fusion is like taking a new ship on a journey each year. It may have the same general design, but every year the ship has some new quirks. This year, we were building our own ship out of spare parts and it was looking good. A crocheted mast, woven sails, and the hull shaped from discarded spinning wheels and drop spindles knitted together. As it got close to the water, the wheels became nervous and started to spin, which took up the slack in our knitting. The drop spindles started dropping away and upon hitting the water it all unraveled. We tried to force the pieces back together (it wasn’t like we would run out of yarn), but at a certain point it’s more bailing water than mending. All you can do is jump in, enjoy the water, and hope next year’s ship is a bit more shipshape.
2020 might have gotten the better of us, and while we are broken-hearted, at least we can now put all of our energy into our 10th Annual event in 2021.
From our whole team, we want to thank everyone for being there and for your offers of help. We hope that everyone is surviving 2020 and finding some silver lining to add to their fiber!
Wishing you all well,
Heidi Lucey
Fiber Fusion Chairman
PS: I have withheld a bit of good news for the end. It looks like we will be able to sell some shirts and even a cup for a fundraiser this year. Look for it to start soon!
