Does your friend KNOW Braille? if yes GREAT as she will be able to know what you are telling her automatically. If not GREAT as you can post the word in iron-on/embroidered letters and then the braille word. The USA Library for the Blind will send you a braille/print English book so you can get the exact spelling of the braille words. I used to have several friends that were blind thru our church but they have moved/passed. I still have the books that one of them sent for for me. From time to time I add a few words from the braille to a quilt or wall hanging.
