[Blindtlk] Want to Start Crafters Division of the NFB

[David Andrews]

                        We have been asked to post the following:

Looking for folks interested in a new Crafters Division or Group of the National Federation of the Blind.  Be part of this new division/Group and help with
making it interesting and help others enjoy the creative crafts that you love.  Only you can create those treasures your family and friends can pass on
as keepsakes. 

This will be a place where you can find other folks blind and visually impaired, who are interested in a variety of crafting   skills and a place to share
your knowledge and experience in working with others, sharing your creative ideas and learning how to do something new.  Whether you are newly visually
impaired and want to know if you can still crochet,  you would like to learn how to quilt, you want to find another blind person that uses a knitting machine,
you do wonderful woodworking creations and want to know where you can sell your items or you would like to wholesale   your hand crafted items and you
need contacts to have people display your creations at trade shows, this will be a great resource for all of that.
