In the next two weeks, you can see a number of textile exhibits in the city of Oakville and Toronto while the World of Threads Festival is on. Most of the exhibits were curated by Gareth Bate and festival chair, Dawne Rudman.
There are 12 countries and 8 Canadian provinces represented.
I specifically went to support the makers that exhibited a piece in Tradition in Transition.

Sandra, as always you are so supportive to my work. I really appreciate your encouragement. May I encourage you to continue with your curator work and also with your own stitched work.
