The event is a fundraiser for SWFAC and showcases the variety of fabric arts practiced by the members. The items are one-of-a-kind pieces made especially for the show and include wearable art, accessories, quilts and other fiber art.
The fundraising event provides members a means to showcase their work, however, any fiber artist in the community is welcome to join SWFAC and submit work for the show. Items are juried by an experienced committee that is already hard at work planning the 2024 event.
If you are a fiber artist that makes wearable art or are a quilter, weaver, knitter, basket maker or other fiber art maker, we encourage you to join SWFAC and contribute your talent to the fashion show. Members must be signed up by February 1, 2024 to participate in the show. Email information@fiberartscollective.org for more information.

December 3 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “From Principle to Story: Karma, and Respect for the Interdependent Web”
Local, award-winning author Kris Neri will share how the Unitarian Universalist Seventh Principle, which stresses respect for the interdependent web of all existence, led her to a secondary career path and ultimately brought about the theme of her Samantha Brennan and Annabelle Haggerty Magical Mystery series.
“When I was fairly new at writing, I helped another writer to overcome some writing challenges, and I feel that karma paid me back with more than I would have asked for by directing me toward a teaching path and providing ideas I would use in my own writing,” Neri said.

Three locations are identified for prescribed fire, depending on weather, fuels conditions; fire crew availability
MIMBRES, NM, November 21, 2023 – The Gila National Forest, Wilderness Ranger District is planning to conduct multiple prescribed fires in December 2023, as permitted by weather and fuels conditions and availability of resources. The prescribed fires are scheduled to begin as early as December 4 and continue for about two weeks as conditions allow.
“Fire-adapted forests in the Southwest must undergo fire disturbance on a regular basis in order to maintain resiliency,” said Wilderness District Ranger Henry Provencio. “The objective of these prescribed fires is to reduce wildfire risk to forest resources and adjacent communities by using fire to consume piled and scattered slash from the landscape.”
