[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 11/08/17

Very good, Tanya!
Henry's and my church knitting group, make hats, and  scarves for the homeless.  We also make blanket strips or squares and someone in the group puts them together, for the men, coming back from military duty.  We also make blankets for the newly baptized in our perish.
Before I got a job, I used to sourt the talking books, for my library.  I help my NFB chapter with fund raisers like selling candy and nuts.  One year, I discovered a Red Cross hat drive box in our cafeteria.  I brought in a few hats to contribute.
Near the beginning of Krafters Korner, I wrote a book on plastic canvas, for Verizons for the Blind.
I do blindness related demos on Take Your Child to work day and  help with Combined Federal Campain.

When our church makes those fleece blankets, I just might try it!  

Terry P.

I make hats for the homeless. I have been working my fingers off lately trying to get enough hats made. I have made about 30, and will probably hit the dollar tree stores for more. I will take them to a soup kitchen close to Thanksgiving or Christmas - depending on which day is coldest.

Yes, another Wednesday has rolled around and that means it's time to do some answering!

This week's question comes from Amy, who has sent me a list of very well thought-out questions.

Amy wants to know:

This is the time of year that lots of people love to give back.

What kinds of fun and interesting things have you done for your community revolving around your crafting skills?

How did you get involved and how were you accepted?

What might you like to try in the future?

As usual I look forward to reading everyone's responses.  I know this will be an informative and supportive conversation.

Nella
