[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Guilds?

Thu Feb 14 17:44:59 UTC 2019

Thank all of you for your suggestions. I had looked at the offerings in my local craft shops and haven’t found what I was looking for but I haven’t thought to look at church groups so I will definitely have to check that out. The website also looks very useful. I hadn’t seen that before. 

I am also the only visually impaired person in my quilting guild but it is a lot of fun. We are actually planning a trip to a quilting museum with a special tour for the group which I am really excited about.

Things like access to equipment I could not otherwise afford, hands on classes with well-known quilters, and just the chance to share patterns and information. I would love to find something similar for needing crochet and weaving but haven’t been able to find anything at least not in my local area. Maybe I am not looking in the right places. So, I am wondering if any of you might know of such a thing.
