I crochet, knit a little, and do counted cross stitch. I think everyone should know some craft, then they can never be bored.

I knit, cross stitch and scrapbook. It helps the aching hands to change activities.

oh the dress and booties are so cute!

I have been taking lessons to crochet. It is harder than I thought it would be.

I also do counted cross stitch and sew simple clothing patterns. I really enjoy making bags, too

IF it a craft I have probably tried it at some time or another. I used to tole paint a lot, I owned my own ceramic shop, I've done macrame, cross stitch, stained glass, oil painting....etc, etc. I really enjoy stained glass but I have to do that in the basement b/c of glass slivers. So I sew and scrapbook mostly now.

I really love the baby wreath, I've done baby cakes!

Quilting is actually my "second" craft. I mainly focus on knitting--I get a real kick out of making something complicated, wearing it, and getting tons of compliments. I love the reaction when I say "Thanks... I made it!" I knit sweaters, shawls, socks, and winter accessories of all kinds.

I also like to embroider funny little pictures. That's what I pull out when I just want a quick three-hour project to fill an afternoon. I make a doodle on muslin and stitch it out.

I make clothes once in a while, and sometimes I'll play with beads and make jewelry or embellish a garment.

I love to knit and spin. I have also made jewlery, painted and tried my hand at stamping. I enjoy the fiber crafts the most. Quilting is my favorite. I am looking to learn hand applique and maybe hand quilting. I love having my hands busy especially when I have to sit through my husband's political shows!

I just like to make table toppers little things like that, and be here on the quiltingboard.

I also knit, crochet, scrapbook and cross stitch. I am severely downsizing my knitting, crochet and scrapbooking hobbies. Family members already have enough afghans and my traveling days are likely limited to quilting expos and such. It's a money/space thing, not a lack of interest. That said, I'm considering taking up nordic walking during the non winter months here.
