While entries come from across Canada, Threadworks is a special project of Ontario Network of Needleworkers' 1200 members from 23 guilds and is supported by Wellington County Museum & Archives. Threadworks is held every three years and has just celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2007.  The show will be travelling across Ontario to an additional 15 galleries and museums until the fall of 2012.
