[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic canvas/cross stitch

[Sydney Walker Freedman]

Greetings, everyone!

Sorry about disappearing for awhile there.  The last semester of
undergrad has been busy but is finally calming down a little.  Anyway,
I'm wondering if there will be a class on plastic canvas soon?  Also,
is it at all similar to cross stitch or embroidery.  Someone suggested
to me that I could learn to cross stitch usin waste canvas over cloth,
but wouldn't plastic canvas work as well?  I'm really interested in
learning some sort of needlework or tapestry weaving in order to make
Orthodox icons.  I've found very little info on icon tapestries, just
a few sites with photos etc., but I've found some cross stitch
patterns plus lots on embroidery and punch needle stuff.  I know how
to weave in general (never done tapestry, though), and it seems that
cross stitch on plastic or waste canvas might be doable for a blind
person.  Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas?  Thanks!

Xristos anesti!
