| MWFA participated in the
36th Annual Folklorama Festival in Winnipeg in August 2005 with a
display and demonstrations of weaving at the Scandinavian
Pavilion.
Folklorama, an annual multicultural
event, celebrates the customs, food, music, dance and
stories of the various ethnic groups which comprise our
city. There were 44 Pavilions in 2005.
The Scandinavian Pavilion honored
the 200th anniversary of Hans Christian Anderson's birth with
Scandinavian fairy tales, The MWFA display included
"The Princess and the Pea". Using fabrics woven by
MWFA members, the princess wore an
exquisite handwoven dress, and went to sleep on twenty mattresses covered in handwoven
fabric!
