[Nfb-krafters-korner] precut square cotton fabric

Mon Dec 12 17:35:10 UTC 2011

I tried to go find them on the website you gave me - but i cannot find 
anything on this site - is it just me?  This site is just about unusable for 
me...sigh.  If you have any suggestions for me to find these squares there, 
please let me know. Otherwise, I guess JoAnn's is where I will have to go 
when I get the chance to go with my grand daughter.  I do not use JAWS, and 
have to find things visually suing ZoomText blown up very large - so it 
takes me forever to find thing on a site like this.
