Explore Fiber Crafting
Within The Quiet House, we invite you to explore a variety of fiber arts at any skill level. Whether your heart is drawn to weaving, felting, dyeing, knitting, embroidery, cross-stitch, or basketry, we are here to guide and support you on your creative journey.
More than a studio, this is a gathering place—a nurturing space where women come together, share inspiration, and enjoy the guidance of experienced teachers and makers. Each class and gathering offers gentle support, helping you expand your skills while honoring your own pace and curiosity.
Join us for a cup of tea, and discover how to weave together creativity, intention, and the simple joy of making with your hands.
Textiles and Fiber Art
Textiles have been an essential part of human life since the beginning of civilization. Textile artworks use plant, animal, or man-made fibers to make practical or decorative objects or a combination of both. They include weaving, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, quilting, and many other techniques. These types of artworks are also often called “fiber art” – particularly when the result doesn’t look like a traditional “textile.”
Fiber art uses a combination of matter made out of natural or synthetic material. Fibers include cotton, linen, yarn, felt, hemp, string, ribbon, wool, silk, acrylic, rayon, and many more. As with any other art form, your imagination is the only restriction to what can be made.
Some of our workshops include:
Plant Dyes and Twined Yarn Pouches
Backyard Basketry: Coiling with Grasses, Cattails, & More
Harvest Baskets Making With Natural Fibers
Introduction to Freeform Tapestry Weaving
Whisk Broom Making

Ready to Circle Up and Enjoy Some Creative Stitching?
Join fellow creatively-minded women for a relaxed social gathering to work on your portable fiber craft projects every month at The Quiet House. Enjoy time each month to connect with others and work on embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, knitting, or any other fiber or textile art that’s easily transportable and low-mess.
This is not a workshop; no one will teach a “how-to,” and materials will not be supplied. It’s an open hour to focus on your projects, enjoy good company, and share the joy of creating in a calm, supportive environment.
There is no charge—just a contribution toward tea and snacks. Donations for a “community craft basket” of yarn and tools for others to use are warmly welcomed!
