[Nfb-krafters-korner] Elm Creek Quilts and quilting

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I am a quilter and had gone back to it after I went blind.  It took  some 
figuring out how to cut fabric for quilts and how to sew it and most of all  
how to figure out patterns in piece work, but I have done it.  I never had  
the time to hand quilt before I went blind due to the lack of time.  That  
is why I wanted to get back sewing as I had all the time with not much to  
do.  I learned how to hand quilt strickly by touch and I am pleased with  what 
I have done.  My stitches are not as perfect as my Mom's, but, I am  happy 
with it and her quilting friends have given me plenty of praise on my  work.

I have  just completed the first three books in a series about quilting. 
The 
books  have really inspired me to try quilting.  I used to do a lot of 
sewing  
before I lost all my vision and gave away all my sewing stuff including my  
machine.  I read recently that it is possible to sew without  sight.  I 
would 
like to try a simple sampler or a 4 patch and  wondered if there are any 
quilters on the list who could offer advice and  suggestions as to how to 
start.

thank you.
