Over the years I have done, ceramics, jewelry making, stoneware, sewing evening gowns for my mother when she was able to go dancing years ago, crocheting, painting on clothes, counted cross stitch, and on and on.
Now just quilting stuff, and crocheting.

I use to do landscape painting, procelan dolls, smocking, you name it - I tried it. Now I only quilt. That is all I want to do.

Other crafts/hobbies include: counted cross stitch, scrap booking, sewing, beading, gardening, embroidery, basket weaving, re-caning chairs, calligraphy, and this weekend I am going to try my hand at glass blowing. I have dabbled in painting pictures and sketching in the past also. Jack of all trades, master of none. lol

I sew everything, crochet, counted cross stitch, plastic canvas. I love crafting!!! I try to only make useful items, clothes, costumes, curtains, decor items and quilts!! I just dislike alterations, don't know why but not a favorite of mine.

Everything I could get my hands on, or afford the equipment to try.
Bobbin and needle lace making, crochet, tatting, lampshade making. Miniature crafts in 1/12th scale for dolls house, including making furniture with french polishing, and stitching carpets (see pic).

Doll making, oil and water colour painting, cross stitch and canvas work embroidery, pulled work and cut work embroidery.

Dress making and reproduction historical costume making, including underwear, corsets etc. (see pic). Spinning and knitting, stumpwork embroidery.

There are probably a few more that I can't remember at the moment.
