    The FabMo list gets you newsletters dealing with distributions and general news. 
  2. We’re beginning one about Fabricrafting, emphasizing people, ideas, techniques, and finished work.

  3. There is an email list option that will get you regular information about FabMo events. FabMo has had increasing participation in various events from Earth Day to Maker Faire, county fairs, and, of course, our own FabMo Textile Art Boutique FabTAB).  The first FabTAB was in October, 2009, and we’re well underway with plans for the second annual event October 23, 2010. 


Making appointments

Managing the size of the crowd makes a huge difference to everyone’s experience while treasure hunting - enough for good networking and mutual interaction, not so many that it becomes a competitive “rummage sale”.  We maintain inventory and restock the tables regularly to insure that whenever folks arrive, they’ll still see fresh material that hasn’t been picked over. 

  1. 1.Request your most convenient day/time appointment by email to gather.fabrix@me.com.  Include name/email of any guests you plan to bring, as well as number and ages of kids.

  2. 2.Watch for your confirmation email.  In rare circumstances we may ask you to pick a somewhat different time.  This is more likely if you are asking for simultaneous appointments for a larger group.
