The Iowa Braille School in Vinton put on a Summer Institute in Ames. I was there for 3 days taking classes. For instance....
Accessible math for Elementary. I found out here that we need to use the Nemeth code for numbers (slightly different from what I had just learned) it makes more sense when writing algebra. The dots all drop to the bottom of the cell instead being in the top......
or Canes, Doors and Stairs, oh my! We were blind folded to get a feel of what the Orientation and Mobility teacher is doing with the student when they come to work at the school. There was more, lots more, and I am still digesting it all.
Back to older stuff.....Amanda (niece) was here on and off working on more bags for 4H and the fair. She needed fabric for bean bags to go with a game she had made. But, when she saw this fabric, she fell in love and decided to make bags too.
Where did I get this fabric?
A few weeks ago, a huge box of fabric arrived in the mail from my cousin. She was in the middle of moving and wanted to clear fabric out of her piles.

She considered the colorful stripe fabric ugly and called it clown fabric. When I saw it, I thought...binding! There was also a colorful polka dot fabric.
It was late at night and the camera wasn't on the right settings, so the next picture is not very good.
My geocaching quilt is back from the quilters. Eventually, I will get the striped fabric on it for binding!

I don't guess I realized you were involved with blind children at school....am I right or no??? I have been meaning to ask you about it for sure since I have thought so a couple of times in other posts. I guess when I would see the art work they were doing you It didn't register they were blind. I think it's cool you are learning the braille!!!
Yeh for gifted fabric!!! I think the stripe is cool!!!
Love the bags, especially the dots and stripes. Fun!
