NEW HAMPTON — The Dana Meeting House Association will host “Fiber Day,” a day of Wool, Quilts and more at the historic Meeting House in New Hampton on Saturday, July 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This family event is free and open to the public.
There will be many different displays, informal talks and demonstrations as well as a corner for kids to draw and make squares for a “paper quilt.” Fiber Day will not only include traditional and contemporary quilts but also displays about wool, spinning, carding, dyeing and even an antique sock making machine and demonstration.
Featured quilter this year will be contemporary artist Holly Pope from Boston. Holly and fellow quilter and co-curator, Eileen Lovett will speak informally about their work from 10:30-11:15 a.m.
Outside and under the tent, Lucienne Brown of Three Creeks Farm NH will be available to talk to about her Dorset Sheep, different wool fibers and how wool is processed. Joining her will be Elizabeth Humphrey of Temple who will demonstrate how to spin fiber into yarn as well as different dyeing techniques and Margaret Hoyle of Bristol will bring her antique sock machine and demonstrate how that was used to make socks.
