On the last weekend of Stampede we have volunteers at the Heritage Cabin stitching on the porch and inside.

Mawdsley Fibre Arts
I am a fibre artist and woodturner. I taught myself to woodturn so that I could try out the many spindles for making handspun yarn which I saw in history
books, but couldn’t find to purchase. After making a fibre art tool, I use it, refine the design, and the iterative creative process continues. Over the years I have explored making fibre art tools to support weaving, sewing, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, nålebinding, cordmaking, in addition to spinning tools.
My work as a fibre artist and woodturner has appeared in Spin Off and Piecework magazines by Long Thread Media, Digits & Threads magazine, in
the book 52 Weeks of Shawls with Laine Publishing Oy in Finland, as well as many self-published patterns.
