It started shortly after I began the company when we launched our <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/forums\">discussion forums<\/a> so you could ask your questions. It completely surprised us that, through the forums, many of you developed connections and friendships that continue today. And what could be better than having a group of like-minded sewing friends to share with?<\/p>\n<p>So today we&#8217;re introducing another way for your to connect with one another: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/friendsofoliverands\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver + S Friends Facebook group<\/a>. If you use Facebook, we&#8217;d love it if you would join us! It&#8217;s just another way to be part of the community, with several big advantages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-59771\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short-760x267.jpg\" alt=\"Oliver + S Friends Facebook Group\" width=\"760\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short-760x267.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short-500x175.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short-768x269.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Short.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the things we like about a Facebook group, as opposed to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/oliverands\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver + S company Facebook<\/a> page (which you may already have liked):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facebook won&#8217;t decide which posts to show you and which to not show you (or at least not yet), so in your newsfeed you will see everything that&#8217;s posted in the Oliver + S Friends group.<\/li>\n<li>You can share your own photos and questions to the group, which allows everyone to interact as part of a community.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll be able to do Facebook Live videos to demonstrate techniques, show you a little bit of what happens behind the scenes, and answer some of your questions. (I think this part is going to be So. Much. Fun.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So come join us! You can find us right here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/friendsofoliverands\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver + S Friends<\/a>.
