At Saturday Crafters we are CRAFTING COMMUNITY!
Come out for a day away to work on your art and craft projects. Everyone here loves all sorts of arts and crafts, and you might just pick up a new one to try!
Here's the definition of community:
com·mu·ni·ty
a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
The importance of community:
Communities are important because they allow people to interact with each other, share experiences, develop valued relationships and work toward a common goal. Without communities, people would have to live isolated lives with minimal or no contact outside of their immediate circle.
Here are some ideas from the definition and importance I've picked out:
Common attitudes: the love of creating with our hands
Interests: knitting, quilting, crochet, painting, colouring, etc...
Goals: carving out time to create
Share experiences: learning new things, sharing techniques, showing each other projects we're working on
Develop valued relationships: crafty friends are the best friends - if you do a craft you'll never have a hard time finding a friend in the crafty community

Fresh Quilting
Have you heard about the latest quilting show on PBS? It's called Fresh Quilting! It is not being aired in Detroit yet, but here is a link to their website where you can watch episodes. http://freshquilting.com/ It appears you can only watch the most current episode online - I've liked what I've seen so far!
Crafty Tip of the Month: Libraries are a great way to check out crafting books before you make a purchase.
