[Nfb-krafters-korner] Classes

Terry,

I have made a coaster with a long diagonal stitch a long time ago from just 
figuring it out. But, I'd like to know your coaster, the different stitches 
that can be used, and pretty much anything. I also want to know how to do a 
Whozit.

When you ask about books with letters and shapes, be more specific please. I 
could do for you the print letters representing them with braille dots. 
Also, what kind of shapes are you looking for? I'll see if I can help.

Greg

Greg and others out there;
What are your interests in the subject of plastic canvis?
Greg; I do not think you did the loop coaster, yet, did you?
Let me know what you all have made. I could use some ideas.  Does any one 
have a book with Letters and or shapes in it?

Terry P.

Joyce,

I think some more crochet classes would be great! A lot of our group knits, 
but that's not for everybody. Since I am new, I don't know what has been 
offered in the past but would like to see a plastic canvas class be taught 
if that hasn't been done. I also wonder if there's anybody on the list who 
works with pony beads or something like that?

For crochet, I think it would be great to have an ongoing class where we 
look at one stitch or technique per month building on our skills till we 
could confidently tackle a big or more advanced project. And, when folks 
talk about crochet, we should also think about the kinds of things we want 
to make. Is it little pieces that travel well, an afghan, baby items, 
amigurumi (stuffed critters and creatures, clothing, or who has another 
idea. I like the idea of starting with little hand pieces that travel well 
and building up to those big ones. What do yall think?

Greg

To Everyone:        I would like to  know if there are any classes that we
have had in the past that folks might like  to have repeated once again?
Please let me know.

We have new folks always joining us and since we keep trying to have new 
classes we tend to forget the classes we had in the past that allowed us to 
learn how to do the crafting we do.  I would like to come up with a list to 
allow our new folks the experience of learning some of the basics.  So let 
me know.

I myself think a repeat of the votive candle holder would be a great 
introduction and project for the folks interested in the safety pin beading. 
I think more crochet classes to build on the beginners class we  had would 
be good for everyone.  Maybe some of the seed beading classes  that Laurie 
has done would be good.  Everyone like one of those first  necklace classes 
she had taught just prior to the holidays a couple years  back.  Would you 
like another sewing machine lecture?

Put on your thinking caps or look back over some of the old classes we had 
in the past and let us know.
