I would like to do more intricate stuff but have not had someone show me a good marking technique. Scared to death to try this fancy stuff, though I would love to. I too do not sit in front of a tv empty handed. In the summer I mostly knit and crochet small projects, but come fall, I love to hand quilt...simple as my designs are, I still love it!
