[Nfb-krafters-korner] Welcome to the new folks

[Dixie]

Hi Lindy,

Welcome. It is nice to have you join us!

 My name is Dixie.  I live in Connecticut.  I enjoy crochet, macramé,
spinning, beading, and knitting.  I hope some day to do some quilting.  I
used to sew in my sighted life, and used to help my mother-in-law design her
quilt blocks.

So, one day, I will actually do some hand quilting.  In fact, just the other
day, I did find a quilt top for a baby quilt I had started years ago for my
niece when she was born...  15 years ago!  Think it is time to finished it?

What exactly is kirigami?





 Dixie

Hi to all, and thank you, Joyce for the welcome.
My name is Lindy, from Cape Town, South Africa. I do appreciate the 
opportunity to join this list and hope to be able to learn from and share 
with you all.
I am a mum of two toddlers, a boy of 5 and a girl of 3 and a half, so I am 
always interested in crafts to do with the kids. Other crafts I like are 
sewing, quilting, card making, scrap booking, origami and kirigami, jewelry 
making, beading, mosaic work and taking and documenting of photos and 
videos.
For the past 18 months or so I have been doing a lot of origami. I have 
started the accessible arts and crafts website at
http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/stephlin/
It is currently mainly focused on origami, but I hope to expand the site in 
future with a special emphasis on easy crafts for blind and visually 
impaired children and/or adults.
Thank you again.
With kindest regards.
Lindy van der Merwe
