Please contact me for more information about HOFA--  High on fiber arts.  We are a small group of fiber artists who meet on the first Monday of the month to explore fiber arts.  We currently meet in our Troy and Rochester area homes.  No dues, no commitments, no rules, just come to try new things, often based on articles in Quilting Arts magazine.  In December we will be making fabric bead bracelets from the spring 2006 issue of QA.  Email me at smmccarty@gmail.com for information. 

Other groups in the area to check out:  NTGM.com and QAAQG.org.  Both offer reasonable classes and exciting speakers. 

Hope to see you.

Here is another one... 

I just went to the Black Sheep Guild's holiday show and spoke to several members...it looks like a good group to get involved with. They started out with weavers and now have just about everything.
