[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: plastic canvas class

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

Preparing for our next plastic canvas class.
We are going to make a cubic cleanex box, for the holidays.  It will be made of squares of altrinating colors.  I have pre-cut pieces, so I can send people a kit for your first box.  
We will be using the same stitch, the continental stitch, but making the stitches different sizes, to form squares.  After you do the center of your coaster, this project will be rather easy.
I was thinking of sending an example of the single color and the innerlocking of the two colors, so you can get a feal of what your work should look like.  I can do a mini sample of the coaster, too.  Just let me know.
We are hoping for sometime in November.  I would like Joyce to join us, so lets try to plan after she gets back from her trip.

Thanks for a nice message.  That was my first time ever doing something like that.  It was a chalange, but it was  one I knew I could handle, because I was teaching Others with the same disability.  I just had to describe things the way I would want a sighted person to describe them to me.
See you all in class.  
How about a cleanex box for christmas?  Do you like square or rectangle?  Do you want to do stripes or squares?  
Send me your answers, this week and we can work on a Christmas gift, class.

Terry

Hi, I just had to tell everyone about Terry's plastic canvas class!   
Henrietta, Eileen and I were  there with Terry teaching us.  
 
We worked on 4 inch squares to start making a coaster.  Terry taught  us a different dstitch then the commonly used continental stitch.  This was worked over a couple of holes at a time, so it worked up faster.
 
We have another class next Thursday working on the center pattern stitches and learning how to finish the edging.
 
You should have been there.
 
Joyce
