Consider entering your items into the Fiber Fusion's Fiber Arts Show. We look forward to seeing your handspun skeins and hand made fiber art creations! All entries must be handmade and completed after October 31, 2019.
We use the Danish method of scoring, so each item receives a ribbon based on a set of standardized criteria for the execution of that item. You can get some helpful suggestions on what's great about your piece and what to try next time from our experienced judge.
All levels of experience are encouraged to participate.

Meet our Fiber Arts Judge... Barbara Seeler
Barbara learned to knit when she was 5 years old and has a life long love affair with fiber. In the early 90’s she started spinning and quickly realized the pairing of spinning with knitting allowed the exploration of fiber, color and texture.
As a workshop “junkie”she traveled the US and Canada studying with as many different mentors as she could.
Her day job as a biochemist for 30 years gave her the chemistry background to explore dyeing. She taught with the Greater Los Angeles Spinning Guild while living in Southern California, Peachtree Spinners Guild and Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild while living in Georgia and was on the board of The Handweavers Guild of America.
She is currently an active member of Valley Spinners Guild in Snohomish, The Snohomish Knitters Guild and Northwest Regional Spinning Association, teaches spinning at Country Yarns in Snohomish and other venues in the Northwest.
