Purnell Museum in Snow Hill will host its annual FiberFest Textile Arts Festival, featuring demonstrations throughout the day of traditional fiber techniques as well as vendors selling fiber art supplies and handcrafted items perfect for gift-giving.

Vendors include Oakwold Gardens, Nancy Ferguson Wool, Ocean Breeze Alpacas, The Wool Farm, Upper Room Studio, Island Yarn Boutique, and The Fine Needle and more. There will be plenty to do for visitors of all ages. Children will enjoy meeting live fiber-bearing animals, and the museum will provide free craft activities for children. At 11 a.m., fiber artist Nancy Ferguson will present a free demonstration of natural dyeing methods using native plants. Along with FiberFest, the museum will display the Delmarva Needle Art Show & Competition inside. The exhibition which includes quilts, embroidery, knitting and more is on display through Oct. 31. Visitors can cast votes for their favorite works to determine the Viewers' Choice winners. Prizes have generously been donated by Sea Needles in Bethany Beach, Del., and A Little Bit Sheepish in Berlin. New for 2013, three workshops will be offered as part of FiberFest.
