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

[Suzanne Bailey]

 I really like the sound of the safety pin beading, hopefully there will be some more classes for it some time soon.

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.

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.
