Women Who Run with Scissors is a Fiber Art group based in Green Bay Wisconsin. Our common interests are in creating original pieces of fiber art and enjoying the thread of weirdness that binds us all together. Those same irreverent qualities that got us into trouble in grade school are now finally working to our advantage as we blend our personal visions with the exploration of contemporary surface design techniques.
Women Who Run with Scissors was founded in 1997.

Many of us could remember playing the Old Maid card game as kids, but in our Revisited collection, we selected a modern occupation, a character name, and drafted a very short story. You can read or download the Old Maid Revisited PDF for additional details.
