[NFB-Krafters-Korner] New Here. Two Questions about Stitches

[Jen]

My other favorite stitch is cross stitch. I love how the half-stitches make
an x.

I never knew stitches even existed until I asked my mom how the quilt on my
bed stays puffy, and she said it had stitches. I just had to check it out
and, sure enough, there are stitches all over it! It's so fun to stretch the
seams and feel them. I just had to figure out how they were made, so Mom
helped me make a basting stitche with two pieces of fabric, which became a
wavy knot. Ever since I found the stitches in my quilt, I've looked for
stitchy things every day and try to find out as much about stitches as
possible. I love trying to figure out where a certain stitch goes and why.

For Christmas, a friend made me an embroidered pillow of Charlotte in her
web with the title of the work in embroidered Braille - French knots.

Joyce Kane, our past president, now our second vice, has 2 or 3 embroidery
machines.
She might not have computer access, right now, because she is visiting, SC,
for a while.
Hopefully she will write and tell you about her business.
We also have a few quilters.
I like plastic canvas.  It is like needle point, but done on a larger
plastic grid.
I also like to knit and loom knit.

Hello crafters,

I have been totally blind since birth. Over the past year, I've just
discovered stitches, and I'm obsessed with them! Every day, I look for
stitchy things. I love all stitching, but my favorite is embroidery.

My questions are

1. Am I the only blind person obsessed with stitches?
2. Can blind people sew, particularly embroider?

Thanks!
