[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[slery]

Tracy,
I joined a temperature blanket group on FB and came across some ideas 
that were not just stripes. There are some really cute cross stitch 
patterns that use flowers or cats for each month. My friend did the cats 
last year. It is great for people that want something smaller.
