I want to know how that Turkish painter, blind since birth, can paint 3-dimensional objects. If he can do that, in my mind, anything is possible. *smile*
Warm regards,

When will you be coming! I work off campus, but can get to bldg. 10. It would be great to meet you.
Tell us about how you paint. How does a blind person paint? You know those stained glass ornaments, you can get and paint, I tried to paint a candy cane at an NFB event and had trouble staying with in the raised lines. It still turned out pretty nice.

Terry, I was looking at your e-mail address. Do you work at NIH? It's one of my stops on my trip. I'm not going as a patient this time. I've been asked to serve on a committee for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. I'm not sure where at NIH the meeting will be. I'm usually at the Clinical Center when I'm there, but NIH is a huge place!

I just got my Accuquilt so I don'tdon't have any experience with it.
I don't know how we could do a demo on Monday Night Chat.
Let me think about this and see if we could work something out in March on a Monday night.

Well, I found the colors beautiful but, I'm still uncomfortable using 100%
wool. Does anyone know if the colors are in any other type of yarn? What
about cottlin?
Also, I'm intrigued by this fabric cutting machine. I'll be honest with
everyone, I've stayed away from quilting and making things where I had to
cut material because I can't cut things straight. this makes me wonder
how
the machine works and whether or not the cutting is straight. Wow! The
things I learn from folks on this list. Thanks. Hey, could we have a
demonstration of the cutter on a Monday night chat or has that been done?
Just wondering.
Regards,
Denise

Cindy, I have no light perception so see nothing at all. I use it
independently, without any aid from others.
It is simple, easy and most of all safe. Short of dropping it on your
foot,
it is unlikely anyone could get hurt using it. I simply cut my fabric in
strips to fit the die and then cut away.
The squares, triangles and other shapes are perfect every time. I will
tell
you more about it but am on my way to a quilt shop that is closing their
doors on Saturday, looking for a good buy. Hugs, JoAn
