Textiles
Fiber Arts
We know felting, spinning, weaving and dyeing aren't for the faint of heart. Whether you’ve mastered the craft or you’re just starting out, we want to see what your needles are capable of!
Needlework & Clothing
Being able to sew your own wardrobe is pretty impressive — and adding embroidery really gives it that special touch. Whether you’re using a machine or making magic with your hands, we’d love to see your handmade lace, cross-stitch and rugs too!
Quilting
Quilts can tell a colorful story and you can see the craftsmanship in each stitch. If you’ve been working on something special, it’s time to be recognized at the Oregon State Fair! We’d love to admire your quilted blankets or wall hangings in Columbia Hall.
