   Weaving a Different View', May 5 to August 8, 2010, at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, 3 Rosamond Str. E., Almonte, Ontario, Canada; 613-256-3754; www.textilemuseum.mississippimills.com.

  We are twelve "Weavers Unlimited" who love to explore structure and complex designs and like to present these concepts in innovative approaches to weaving.

  Our exhibition is meant to stretch the boundaries of weaving through a series of garments and wearable art, all using handwoven fabric. What we are aiming for is to weave with a different view, which we chose as the title of our exhibition.
