SOFAAR

Sofaar is excited to officially launch the detailed information package about its Fabulous Fall Fibre Retreat which will take place in Annapolis Royal the weekend of September 29th to October 1st.

Accommodations will be at the historic and beautiful Queen Anne Inn.

Attendees will enjoy their fibre arts get-away weekend working on their projects in the Inn’s beautiful parlours.
You can stitch the weekend away and explore the birthplace of Canada while strolling along the river, taking in the Farmers’s Market, visiting Canada’s First National Historic site: Fort Anne and enjoying fabulous breakfasts and a three-course Saturday evening meal at the Queen Anne Inn.

Attendees will have a special guided tour of the Historic Fort Anne tapestry and a visit to the local gallery featuring a SOFAAR fibre exhibit.

Why not bring a fibre friend and spend a lovely weekend with like-minded fibre enthousiasts!

SOFAARFallFibreRetreat.2017

Twenty-three stitchers, hookers, knitters and other fibrephiles came out last Saturday afternoon to spend an agreeable couple of hours on Saturday the 28th of January working on their different fibre projects with like-minded individuals.

Sofaar members and others enjoyed sharing ideas and tips.

We all appreciated the lovely church hall of Saint-Alphonsus in Bridgetown.

We’ll be sure to do it again next month so keep an eye out on the location.

Here’s a great way to beat the January blahs!

Join your fellow SOFAAR members for a relaxed afternoon plying your needles and hooks in a social setting on January 28, 2 to 4 p.m. at St Alphonsus Hall in Bridgetown.

Bring your latest project (or a UFO you’ve been meaning to finish) and knit, hook, stitch, spin or otherwise play with fibre. There’ll be no business meeting, no pressure; just a chance to sit and stitch.

There are lots of tables and electrical outlets if you want to bring a machine or extra light and washrooms and a kitchen handy if you need a cup of tea.

Feel free to bring a fibre friend. There is no charge for the event, but a small donation ($2) to help offset hall rental costs is requested.

Where:                St Alphonsus Catholic Church – 93 South Street, Bridgetown.
(See map, attached)

When:                  January 28, 2 – 4 p.m.

Some Conditions Apply: 

Here’s your “small print” warning of conditions that apply to this offer: In the event of a major snow storm, the event will be cancelled. It will also be cancelled should a funeral be scheduled for that date.

If we have to cancel, we will post the cancellation notice on our SOFAAR  website (www.SOFAAR.ca) and our Facebook page.

We hope to see you there.

Most of us will not be in Savannah, Georgia over the holidays… but if you are, you can check out SOFAAR member Sam Norgard’s amazing beaded pieces.

She is featured in the “Tiny Treasures” exhibit of the Coastal Bead Society running through December and January at the Cultural Arts Gallery in Savannah, Georgia.

Sam’s creations are amazing !

All SOFAAR members are invited to attend a “social” on Wednesday, December 7th from 6 to 8 pm in Annapolis Royal.

This social gathering is a simple invitation to meet and great and nibble and drink a bit! And to show and tell…

To put us all in the Christmas mood we invite members, who wish to, to bring along for show and tell a Christmassy (or not!) fibre piece they have made or are making! It can be an ornament, a wearable piece of fibre art (mittens, anyone?) or any kind of fibre work you would like to show off! It doesn’t even have to be Christmassy! Now is your chance.

Our hospitality committee will look after food and drink, so just bring yourself and your show and tell.

If you are not presently a member of SOFAAR, come along and join!

Where :

chez Christine Igot
87 Fortier Mills Lane (behind the Fire Hall)
Annapolis Royal

When:

Wednesday, December 7th from 6 to 8 pm
