[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about sewing and woodworking

[Cindy Sheets]

Our President, Joyce Kane, sews. She had surgery today so it may take her a few days to respond to you. Joyce has also taught a class about the resources she uses for sewing. I believe we also have a couple of other members that sew.

So, give Joyce a little time to respond you. She has great ideas for sewing and regularly makes things.
