[Nfb-krafters-korner] Crazy Quilting

[River Woman]

I just sent her an email to ask...she is a former school teacher so I think 
she would be very clear with her descriptions of things and would love to 
answer questions that folks have.  She is very patient and very good with 
working with individuals who have challenges.
