The Return of the Fiberistas!
January 31, 2009 by Reader's Connection
Actually, the Irvington Fiberistas never went away. They meet on the first Thursday of every month to work on fiber-art projects, and you’re welcome to bring your supplies and join them. They´ll be at the Irvington Library on Thursday, February 5th, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
If you’re into fiber-related work, here are some recent titles that may be of interest.

I didn’t know a group like this existed! What great fun!
Would there be interest in a group meeting at Nora?

We don’t have one quite like this at Nora, but there is a knitting group and a quilters group that meet here. You can call the branch @275-4472 for details.
