Celebrating Ontario’s Fibre Traditions

Thanks to everyone who participated and joined us as we celebrated community. WEFTFest 2026 was smashing success.

We featured the Quilt of Belonging:

“I saw the need of each person to be included, to be seen and to be heard.” Esther Bryan

And where joined by the Grand River Quilt Project spearheaded by Pat Flood of the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity

A collaborative piece created by people who live, work and gather along the length of the Grand River, from Dundalk to Dunnville, including Six Nations of the Grand River.

Thank you to all the volunteers, the staff and management team at the Hampton, the participating guilds, those who trusted us with their quilts for the weekend and Pat for hosting our felting table. You are all truly a wonderful community.
