Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to the Upper Valley Fiber Crafts blog!

We hope to become a useful resource for finding locally-owned shops and community groups with whom to learn and do all kinds of fiber crafts: sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, rug braiding, and everything else you can do with yarn, fabric, or thread. We'll maintain a calendar and directory, blog about upcoming classes, and profile local groups. You'll also see posts about projects that use leftover or secondhand materials, or allow items like clothing to have a longer useful life; these are particular interests of those of us who teach at the Upper Valley Sew-Op. We'll announce events outside the Upper Valley that local crafters are involved in or that are worth the drive. Of course, we can only blog about what we know, so all fiber crafters in the Upper Valley are invited to tell us about their activities and other news. Write us if you are part of a crafting group or teach or organize classes, or if you would like to write posts for this blog. All kinds of fiber crafting topics are welcome, as long as they are local, for any craft and any age range. We're excited to start this project, although it will be a while before it fulfills all the ambitions listed above!
