[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hi, new member from the UK

[Linda]

Welcome to the group, Suzanne.  You are involved in several crafts which is
wonderful.  I enjoy the needle crafts, looming knitting and sewing.  I have
not made jewlry before.  Safety pen beading uses large safety pens, beads,
wire and sometimes metal rings of various sizes to creat items.  The group
has made churches, Christmas trees, candle holder, animals among other
items.  It can be lots of fun.  Light shining through the creations is
beautiful.  
I hope you will enjoy us; we strive to help each other any way we can.
Linda B

Hi I'm Suzanne and live in the UK.  I'm 33 and blind except for minimal
light perception and have become a keen crafter over the last 3 years or so.

I am mostly self tought except for the occasional help of my dad who watched
youtube videos in my early knitting days and explained them to me.

Since then I have learned to crochet, weave, loom knit, sew, and have just
started dabbling into jewelry making.

My current projects are a knitted dragon toy for my niece, a bracelet made
by knitting 28 gauge silver plated wire with pre strung beads in it, and a
baby quilt. With the quilt I have only hand sewn the patchwork squares
together so far into strips, then I am going to machine sew the strips
together although this is a bit scary as I've never machine sewn before!!
Then I need to figure out the rest of the quilting process  as I go! My
husband and I are both hoping to enrol in a one day leather working workshop
at the local art college at the end of October.

I have been looking through the list of archived classes and they look
great, would love to try some by email some time. The ones I'd be most
interested in are basket weaving (which I've never done), any jewelry ones,
any safety pin beading ones although I have no idea what this is! And any
sewing or quilting ones.

Best wishes.
Suzanne.
