“Connected by Threads”, the name of this piece, describes the community of fiber artists in Portland Handweavers Guild. The inspirations for the works of art in our guild’s display booth at the 2025 conference of the Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds were chosen by individual artists and represent the wonderful and quirky places and things that make Portland Portland. Our collection includes a wide range of fiber arts.
