I do scrapbooking, cardmaking and jewelry. I can knit but get bored with it quickly. I have done counted cross stitch (too hard on my eyes now), macrame, sewing clothing & doll clothes. I'm sure over the years there have been more. I really am enjoying the quilting. I just started quilting last year when I retired.

I have tried many arts and crafts through the years, but narrowed it down to the following.

I paint, knit, crochet, make rugs, landscaping and gardening I sew for my self and house. I have projects going with all those listed above. But I always have severl qilts going, I Love quilting, and all the friends I have made in quilting.

I used to do needlepoint many years ago; don't do that any more. I have knitted since I was a teen. Have sewed since I was 5. Have made wedding gowns, prom dresses, etc. I do a lot of home dec sewing for people. I do cross stitch on the embroidery machine and every Christmas I make my daughter an embroidered Santa picture. Unfortunately I never thought to take pictures of them.

I do lots of crafts. I always said I was a jack of all trades and master of none. I have knitted, crocheted, tole painted, worked with wood, card making, counted cross stitch, and I sew everything and anything. I recently got into embrodiery. I mainly sew now because of disabilities. That is all I can handle. I make tons of purses. Haven't done the bow tucks yet. I love to quilt. I do more of that than anything.

The cross stitch is just beautiful. I knit and have done a quite a few items over the years. I also sew for my children (grown) and grand children. I have two more snuggies to finish for August birthdays.

I have done a lot of counted cross stitch, but I find myself quilting more. Probably because the pieces are bigger and you can see the design faster.
