Paranormal Fiction: Solstice Wood, by Patricia A. McKillip

In Solstice Wood, the Fiber Guild’s creations are designed to protect one world from another, using age old methods known to wise women everywhere. Today fiber artists recognize and appreciate the stress relieving properties of needlework. By reading such books as Solstice Wood, and by studying the magical properties of women’s work and women’s powers in folklore, I’ve come to appreciate the fiber arts in another way.

The CT fiber festival used to be a tiny affair, compared to places like NY and Maryland. I’ve attended every year since the 90’s, and the growth it’s experienced over the past 3 or 4 years is phenomenal. Posted here are a few photos I snapped this morning to convey a bit of the ambiance.

2008 - The festival this year is on April 26, at the Tolland Ag Center on Rte 30, Vernon/Rockville.
