This past weekend was the Gibson’s Landing Fibre Festival another fabulous fibre event – with great classes, vendors, demos and many many Fibre People in a beautiful setting (even if it did rain on Sunday!).
I was there with my SAORI loom and a blues & greens warp for the Earth & Sky & Water to create a Community Peace Banner for the new Recreation Centre.
Last year’s banner was on display at the High School – “Fibre Central”…
Down in the landing there were tents with many artisans, a Farmer’s Market on Sunday, music, water, boats and a bandshell tent with hands-on demos.
This year there were 75 people who added threads of peace to the community banner.
and some close-ups…
It should brighten up the gray walls of the Recreation Centre in Gibsons and remind people of the festival and peace….

I’d sure like to go to the festival someday. I just wish it wasn’t at the height of tourist season when all the hotels are $$$$!! Thanks for sharing!
It is a wonderful festival and I hope that you can make it sometime…

What a wonderful venue for weaving your latest peace banner.
Using a warp of blues & greens for the Earth, Sky & Water to create another peace banner for the Gibson’s Landing community is so inspired!
Beautiful pictures too.
Peace and Love,

Great setting for a Fibre Fest – and the weaving of another peace banner! Nice that your DS was there to help ‘model’ the banner!
Yes, Gibson’s is a great little town. We found a coffee shop that had wonderful fresh muffins every morning and of course it became a favourite hang-out for my ds (when he wasn’t helping with set-up, etc.).
Happy Weaving,
