[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question of the week

We are planning on having a beginner's safety pin beading class in April,  
so if you are interested in giving it a try you can sign up for it.   
Everyone gets to do a "Try it" class without any obligations and then after that  
we ask you to become a paid member  of the NFB Krafters Division to take  
more classes.  
 
Check over at our website for upcoming classes.

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
