Terry,

Do some searches on google.  You are the plastic canvas expert where  do 
you usually find patterns for plastic canvas?

Hi  Greg;
I am looking for different sized hearts, Christmas shapes like a  reath, 
candy cane, stocking, ... Easter shapes, shamrock, pumpkin, flower,  ...
I am looking for anything that only has a few colors.  Not to  detailed.  
Christmas tree. Animals.  
Letters.  I have a  set of cubic letters.  I think they are about 8 by 10 
squares.   Anything would be great by diagram or  sample.

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?

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.
