[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question of the week

[Denise Shaible]

Well, I think it's great that you can do so much at one time.  What is 
plastic canvas?  I've never heard of it.  Also, where did you learn the 
safety pin beading?  did you take classes with NFB?  I'm really looking 
forward to seeing the things at National.  thanks for inspiring me.

Regards,

Denise
