Special Exhibits
The 2009 Fiesta presented two Special Exhibits:

“Flora”, a collection of both vintage and new hand-made lace
from The Lace Museum in Sunnyvale, California (552 S.
Murphy, Sunnyvale, CA 94086).
and

“Feel the Fiber”. The Educational Fiber Arts Exhibit of

expanded.

Fashion Shows
The Fiesta Fashion Shows were again hosted by the Albuquerque Chapter of the American Sewing Guild. Artists from
all fiber art disciplines were on the stage, a newer and larger stage than ever before, “strutting” their stuff. The Fiesta
Fashion Shows have always been popular.
Yes. A raincoat of Dog Food Bags!
Off the Wall Fashionistas.
Vendor Mall
All booths subscribed! The Fiesta Vendor Mall again included many of our favorite purveyors of fiber materials and fiber
art. We have even more space in our new digs, so we added a few more vendors to our already outstanding list.
