The Mad Hatter's Tea Party
Best Guild Display
Ontario Handweavers and Spinners 2001 Provincial Conference
"I dreamed I went to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party"
The theme for guild displays was Fantasy. Our award-winning display featured The Mad Hatter, Alice, Rabbit, and the Dormouse. These dolls wore clothing and sat on pillows handwovenwoven by our members. Emily, the doll who "dreamed she went to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party", was handmade by one of our honorary members.
A highlight of the display was our Inkle Band Wallhanging in the background. Inkle loom weavings in Latvian patterns were woven in long narrow panels and sewn together as our guild Millenium Project. Tablecloths, tea towels, place
mats, baskets and liners,and beaded jewelry complemented the display.
