[Nfb-krafters-korner] Backing Plastic Canvas pieces ... was fabric glue.

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

Eileen;
Here are the measurements for the cubic cleanex box.
4 sides 
	29 squares across and 37 squares down.
Top
Cut a square 29 by 29 squares.
Think of it like a picture frame.
The 4 sides of the frame will be 9 squares wide and the block you cut out will be 11 by 11 squares.
Make sure to leave a solid bar when cutting out the square.
It will be used for edging of the hole where your cleanex comes out.

Terry,

Yes, that was a thought also, but I thought of it only after I did the overcast stitch for the edging on the cross.  I finally got the time to finish the cross, so will now re-listen to the class recording and see where I get with the coasters.  I don't think I'm ready for your tissue box class, but will at least sit in on it and then can re-listen when I get more free time.  A question about your supplies, do you know the size of the pieces we will need for the tissue box covers?

Eileen
