[Nfb-krafters-korner] pin question

Joyce,

I think she was talking about the beaded pins that you were mentioning on
list.  Like the Halloween pin, the Irish flag.  Those pins with the seed
beads.

You had mentioned the website that the publicly available patterns were at.
I think she was wondering which patterns on those sites you had found were
in an accessible format.

Patterns that are classes are given out to students taking the classes  
only.  That is why we encourage folks to join our division and take the  
classes.  Some of these patterns are created by our instructors that teach
the 
class, so we will not post them to the list or on the website.
 
We encourage folks to take the class and then each student receives a  
downloadable file of the recording of the class as long as they attend the  
class.  The students receive any written files or patterns or links to such

patterns from the instructors.  The instructors are on this list to be  
available for any help that a student might need.  The instructors also
will do 
one on one help with a student to help them understand the  process.
 
Our teachers do not get paid for this, so it is a real bargain for our  
members to be able to receive all of this for $10 per year.
 
We are lucky to have such wonderful teachers and friends here on Krafters  
Korner.

Hi Joyce  and all,
Would it be possible to create a list of the accessible safety pin  beading 
patterns? Or will that involve a lot of work for someone? I am not  sure 
about the archiving of info from this list, but I will be happy to  feature 
a 
list of these patterns on my accessible arts and crafts site, or  
alternatively, we can post the list once a month or give an e-mail address  
where people can request it from?
I plan to write to Sherry to thank  her for the work she has done so far 
for 
us, so she knows it is  appreciated.
Just some ideas to make the patterns more accessible to us  all.
Lindy
