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

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I talked to Joyce last night and we will be working on a class, most
likely after convention.
Thanks for your great interest.  There can be a lot of creativity in
plastic canvis.

Hi Terry,
When are you going to do a class on plastic canvas?  It would be fun.
