Does everybody on here do quilting only or do you do other crafts also? I get in moods where all I want to do is crochet, or cross stitch and won't even think of quilting for months. Then, I will suddenly want to only sit at my sewing machine and forget housework, cooking and everything else in the world. :shock:

Murphy 10-17-2011 09:14 AM

I am sure, given all the creativity one sees here, that many of us do many different crafts (smile).

QuiltnNan 10-17-2011 09:20 AM

I also love machine knitting and also settle in to crochet afghans in the cold months.

1234Irene 10-17-2011 09:22 AM

I also enjoy crochet.......

annthreecats 10-17-2011 09:24 AM

I knit and crochet as well as sew. I will knit and crochet while I watch t.v. The t.v. is usually not on while I sew.

countrymaid 10-17-2011 09:26 AM

I love to do hand work. I crochet and do counted cross stitch. I've also just started painting again.

Crochet, sewing, ect.,

Sheila_H 10-17-2011 09:58 AM

I do cross stitching, needlepoint, crewel, just started to do some knitting

Cyn 10-17-2011 10:23 AM

I do that all the time. It's a wonder anything ever gets done around here :) I read for days, cross stitch, paint, sew, knit, crochet, bead, quilt, garden, shop and decorate. It just comes and goes and there's no rhyme or reason for it :) Thank goodness my husband thinks it is great. He's happy as long as we get to travel, golf and watch football which I always stop and do :) Luckily we have a wonderful pet sitter that comes anytime to watch our 7 fur babies!

clarinet87 10-17-2011 10:39 AM

I love to crochet and knit as well.... I generally have one project each of quilting, knitting, and crocheting sitting right next to my couch so I can just grab whatever I'm in the mood for on any given day. :)

hobbykat1955 10-17-2011 10:58 AM

Cold weather at night crochet...Been thru every craft invented...broken china, stenciling, cross stitch, needlept, decoupage, hooking rugs...Only thing I havent tried was scrapbooking and just can't get the knack of knitting...

texas8823 10-17-2011 01:20 PM

Oh I love to crochet. I also do it while watching tv. Used to do cross stitch but haven't in a long time.

gigi4419 10-17-2011 01:35 PM

I do cross stitch and needlepoint.

SherriB 10-17-2011 01:38 PM

I used to cross stitch, but haven't done so in many years. I am slowly learning to crochet. My youngest DD taught her self to knit and crochet. I love all the soft, colorful and fuzzy yarns.

I also love to mess around with craft paints and decopage. Mostly on recycled items from thrift stores or garage sales.

Teddybear Lady 10-17-2011 01:39 PM

I don't know if it is considered a craft, but I do scrapbooking.

tedytrser 10-17-2011 01:42 PM

I like to crochet and scrapbook. And yes I consider it a craft.

Willa 10-17-2011 02:10 PM

Counted cross stitch, learned how to knit but it hurt my wrists so no more for me.

Susanna10 10-17-2011 02:10 PM

I make toothbrush rugs

3incollege 10-17-2011 02:10 PM

I love to knit.

cyd 10-17-2011 02:14 PM

I, too, have done a lot of different crafts, but crocheting and quilting are the 2 most enjoyed. With yarns being so high it is harder to make afghans for charity.

Jennifer22206 10-17-2011 02:49 PM

I do digital scrapbooking. And some Cross stitch, but mainly quilt.

kateyb 10-17-2011 03:10 PM

I also embroider, crochet and knit, although my knitting skill isn't that great.

ZTAgirlknits 10-17-2011 03:18 PM

I like to knit and do assorted other crafts as well, jewelry making, scrapbooking, and really whatever I can think up and execute! But sewing has def come to the forefront of my crafting lately!

Gramie bj 10-17-2011 07:13 PM

crochet, embroidery, cross stich, paint (oil and watercolor) wood work (refinish old and make new, beeding, I also like ceramics and pottery.

COYOTEMAGIC 10-17-2011 08:05 PM

I learned to crochet when I was in my teens. I could just look at something and create a pattern for it. When I was in college, I busted up my wrist really badly and couldn't crochet without pain.

So I learned how to quilt.

CloverPatch 10-17-2011 08:15 PM

I do many other things
It comes on in fits mostly.
Right now I am into making ornaments. Got an idea, and have run with it. Been making 1 or 2 a day, just cause I can. Thats not quilting but sewing.
I will make clothes, purses, dog beds, just about anything that can come out of that sewing machine.
I will garden, build (a dog house, shelves, what ever comes on as a "good-idea")
I might get the gumption to refinish a floor or paint a room.
I don't think im very "crafty" I just have a compulsion, a need, to fix it, mend it, or make it.

jeanne307 10-17-2011 08:19 PM

My other passion is Papercrafting and Cardmaking... I love being able to make my own cards... love stamping scenes and coloring them and creating something beautiful...

Connie in CO 10-17-2011 10:36 PM

I'm starting to like machine embroidery.Connie in CO

Grammie Sharon 10-18-2011 03:13 AM

scrapbooking and cardmaking.

Quilt-Till-U-Wilt 10-18-2011 03:35 AM

I don't want to do anythhing but sew. I was in the middle of building a dollhouse when I discovered quilting and the dollhouse is still half done.

Amythyst02 10-18-2011 03:38 AM

I sew for my granddaughters. I crochet and do counted cross stitch too. I like to make crafty things for my sewing area, like covers for my machine, organizers, pin cushions, etc.

luv2so 10-18-2011 03:41 AM

I do a lot of other crafts and home dec. With 16 grandkids I also make a lot of clothing and embroidery a lot of purchased jeans.

sarahrachel 10-18-2011 03:50 AM

I can knit, haven't done it in a while, embroider, counted and not, and crochet. I'm not very good at knitting and crocheting, mostly because it takes so much longer for me and I would much rather have a needle in my hand (embroider or hand quilt) but I can do them and do pick them up from time to time

mummadee 10-18-2011 04:23 AM

Cross stitching is my first love. I love hand work. I do a tiny bit of hand quilting (still learning) on small pieces. I don't like being tied to a machine. Maybe because mine is in the basement? Once I get started on quilting I'm good to go.

Ann L 10-18-2011 04:28 AM

I do a little of everything as well. Crochet, stained glass, mosaic, paint, quilt.....

pegc 10-18-2011 04:31 AM

I like to do mosaic work, knitting and sewing projects other than quilting at times, also making some jewelery.

SouthPStitches 10-18-2011 04:32 AM

I knit socks and scarves also. Love yarn almost as much as fabric and when I find a shop that carries both, I'm at my happiest. Connecting Threads has a sister division called KnitPics with good prices, nice choice, and good service.

vjengels 10-18-2011 04:38 AM

I learned how to knit this summer.
I LOVE to bake
I crochet
I do some jewlery.
I do photography
I sew some of my own clothing
Make my own soap
Like Origami
Cross stitch
make my own paper
When I get tired of working on one thing I move onto something else, generally I have 3 or 4 projects going

chatonne40 10-18-2011 05:31 AM

I do woodworking, especially scrollsawing and Intarsia and sometimes knitting slippers that is all I can knit :-)
This year I am planning to make my own Christmas cards.

boomer47 10-18-2011 05:34 AM

I also love weaving and have a floor loom in the dining room!!
