[Nfb-krafters-korner] New here & love crafting

[Susan Roe]

Hi Melanie,

I am Susan, a Federationest from Virginia.  I am glad you took the plunge 
and decided to check our group out.  You are going to find a wide variety of 
crafts enjoyed here from people who have been crafting for many years blind 
to those who have been crafters in their sighted lives and who are now 
picking their crafts back up after they have lost their sight.  No question 
is too simple and if anyone here doesn't know the answer themselves, then 
they can direct you to where to find the answer.

Stay tuned and I hope you will enjoy our members and what we do best.

Susan
