Fiber Guild meeting brings helping hands

Just a short note–I just started writing a blog for the Appalachian Ohio Fiber Guild. This group meets monthly at the French Art Colony in Gallipolis, OH. Visitors and new members are welcome! The blog has lots of photos of the group’s activities. http://apohfibg.wordpress.com/

We generally have a workshop or demo of some type, as well as bring in projects we have completed or are working on. We also plan outings to our member’s farms, as well as day trips to fiber-related shops and exhibitions.

Mary and I share our mesh tote bags.

Most who attend knit or crochet, others felt, spin or dye wool, a few actually raise animals. Two of us are art quilters.

Beginning in January 2012, our programs will feature one of our members’ farm or studio, with a virtual visit provided by photos. I am planning to include these as a separate page on the guild blog, so you can join us in the tours!
