Here is an online tatting class. Check it out if you want to learn to tat!

I use to do a little of this and that, decided I needed to try to stick to one thing, or the whole house would be filled to the brim with too many different things, do occasionally still tole paint. But figure can make many assorted items w/sewing. :)

That sounds like me! If it caught my eye, I learned to do it. The only things that stuck are painting, quilting and I still do some crochet.....
Here is a big rug I crocheted about 20 years ago and a couple of my paintings.....

Oh just look at that -
cheese :lol:
The mousie is cute too!!!! :XD:

Okay, I give up and will announce my ignorance. What is Pergamano??

I do lots of crocheting and knitting of scarves and hats for the winter coat drive. Last year got 75 of each done. Do these when watching a good movie at night. Quilting is done during the daylight hours.

Still do counted cross-stitch and redwork/bluework ... often framing those into pictures with quilted borders around them. Love doing seasonal, i.e., Halloween, Patriotic, Easter, etc.

Hi.
Pergamano is also called parchment crafting. It originally came
from the Netherlands. Its basically embossing, perforating, cutting
and sometimes coloring parchment paper into cards, decorations,
invitations, bookmarks, picture frames and even 3 dimensional objects, whatever your little heart can conceive. I've seen
some absolutely gorgeous fans. Go to ecstasy.com and click on
pergamano to see some samples. I pretty much stick to cards, tags and bookmarks.

Beautiful work. I have done cross stitch but I am into plastic canvas now, learning to knit and I also crochet.

p38flygirl 08-08-2010 06:36 PM

I have lots of loves. Polmer clay, miniatures, scrapbooking, sewing dollclothes, cardmaking, crocheting, want to learn to knit and to do plastic canvas. I did cross stitch for many years. But I do not see as well as I did then.

grandma Janice 08-08-2010 07:28 PM

I use to do lots of things but now I only do quilting, cross stith, crocheting, and scrapbooking. I tried several times to learn to tat, no luck. I learned to do the basics but when I tried to make something, I ended up with knots. decided it wasn't for me.

Drew 08-09-2010 09:25 AM

OK, Went to ecstasy.com. That website is NOT for pergamano. Could you suggest another site?

Thanks!

have fine crocheted, embroidered, lampshades made, straw dollies often for fundraising for dog rescue but lampshades solely for me!

Mornigstar 08-09-2010 04:20 PM

Interested in those sandals but not sure I would wear them in Ontario--yrs ago I got crochet pattern for a bathing suit and even a sandals pattern but you need
leather soles for them . Oh well can no longer wear that kind of bathing suit but it was in many dreams while I was making things for other people.
I did see some bead stings that one lady here makes for feet.

Used to do counted cross stitch - a lot of sweatshirts for friends and family. My grandmother taught me to tat, but I have totally lost that ability that I never really had. All thumbs with it. Want to learn to paint, but haven't done anything with that desire yet. Other hobbies are vegetable and flower gardening, although that's not really a craft. **I love the candles and am very impressed with the samplers***. Does anyone on this board tat? I think it is coming back into vogue.

:lol:

Paint ceramics, crochet, sew, embroidery, make cards, knit, needlepoint, lots of diffent craft. Love the glue gun and enjoy being retired. 8-) :-D

zz-pd 08-09-2010 10:45 PM

I have done all sorts of crafts, but crocheting has been the one I have done most of all, until quilting came a long. God bless.

sorry about that. The correct site is www.ecstasycrafts.com.

mickeyquilts 08-10-2010 04:35 PM

Your samplers are wonderful! I've done a little of almost everything (still have tons of floss, though I haven't cross-stitched in quite a while). Right now I jump between knitting socks, primitive rug hooking, and mostly quilting. Busy hands....

RugosaB 08-10-2010 05:06 PM

I crochet, paint, and make jewelry with beads

Joyce 08-12-2010 03:19 PM

WOW! What a lot of talent amoung this group.
I think people tend to gravitate towards others of like interest. Some of us, actually most on this group, like to try our hand at most everything.
I do just about all the things that have been listed.
Ditter, I really liked your oil paintings. There are just too many great artist on this board to mention them all.
I also consider growing African violets an art form. At one time I had over 400 varieties with a total of 1600 plus plants.

JACRN 08-23-2010 09:57 PM

JACRN 08-23-2010 10:01 PM
