[Nfb-krafters-korner] Sewing/quilting

[Ramona Walhof via Nfb-krafters-korner]

Ashley, I believe there has been some discussion on this list about piecing 
a quilt top of some sort.  We have to give Joyce time to recover, but she 
and I have talked about a class to piece something small like a bag or 
pillow case.  Joyce has much more experience than I.  Sewing the pieces can 
be done by hand or on the machine.  Squares are the simplest, but quilt 
piecing can be very creative, an art unto itself, to say nothing of the 
sewing over all that Annette describes.
