Quilters, knitters and crocheters from all over the area and as far away as New York will be bursting into Camas Friday to show off their artistic works.
The first Camas Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival will take place Friday, from 5 to 8 p.m., and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in downtown Camas.
The festival began as a First Friday idea, but the Downtown Camas Association quickly decided to extend the event for an extra day because of the interest it was generating.
“It’s about celebrating the art and talent and getting people connected that way,” Schulstad said.
Quilts will be hung up all through downtown, indoors and outdoors, she said.
At least a dozen downtown businesses have volunteered to open their doors to the festival and hang the pieces inside their shops.
