Spring Exhibition Welcomes Francine Higgins

Francine (Fran) Higgins is a Dryden, Ontario–based crafter whose lifelong passion for sewing began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s skill and creativity. After receiving her own sewing machine upon graduating in 1977, she has continued to work with fabric as her primary creative outlet. While she has explored many crafts over the years, sewing remains her “happy place,” reflecting a deep connection to tradition, making, and everyday creativity.
