Building has begun!

The WI Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts is now under construction!

In the last week the construction crew has lifted the barn off of its 1850's foundation, torn out the old foundation (saved the rocks for re-use on the veneer of the new foundation and for dry stacked farm yard walls!), begun the base work for the parking lot area, dug the new bioswal, cut down a lot of old junk trees (we have a beautiful sunrise scene through the farm yard now!) and poured new footings! So much has happened in the last few days! Really looks like we are spending the 1.3 million dollars we raised for the project.

I am beginning my search for teachers to come and teach fiber art classes at the museum! I hope to run several different classes in all realms of fiber arts..I want traditional and contemporary quilters, weavers, rug hookers, felters, papermakers..you name it, if it involves fiber, I want them to be at the museum for classes.

On that note..if any of you reading this want to teach at the museum...please contact me. I am always open to looking for new teachers and new fiber to exhibit at the museum!

I will post pictures soon..have you ever gotten a new piece of technology and can't figure out how to do the simple things like upload video! The new Droid is giving me some fits today!
