Betty J, what elegance. I hope you make lots of money with your talented hobbies...or do you get attached to them, especially the doll:-)

I have had my hands in many things over the years but quilting is my love. I also do all the repairs in the house, plus putting in floors, painting, wall papering and many more home related projects. I own all the tools in my house and believe me I have a lot. Oh by the way I have a husband and 3 boys ages 24, 22 and 19 and they only once in a while show an interest in tools. 24 year old no longer lives at home.

Wow. I am impressed with the amount of talent quilters have. I quilt, cross stitch, crochet, knit, make candles, garden (vegetables), am getting ready to try growing herbs, and I do beading once in a while. Goal in life?! Try to get some projects done.

My husband, my 2 boys, and cooking lol

I joke that doing laundry and cleaning the house must be my favorite "hobby" since I do so much of it. My second best love after quilting is reading.
Yes that is why I started this topic. I find I can know someone much better when I can relate...I love it. |

Sometimes I will paint on a quilt if I think I need a little more shadow or contrast in the design. I use Decoart Americana so soft (SS) fabric paint. I used to work for that company and did a lot of traveling for them teaching etc. YOu can wash and it remains nice a soft like the fabric. I will also paint blocks to include in quilts. I will dig some out later and take pics. Here is a butterfly quilt that one of my painter friends painted and I made into a quilt for her and it travels to all the painting convention.....I will find the file of the entire quilt later.. If you any of you are folk artists/ decorative artist...you might recognize these blocks as Doxie Keller's painting.... |
I used to make jewelry, do tole painting, oil painting, make my own clothing, etc. Now i pretty much quilt when i have the energy, but mostly i read books, which i love to do.

Let's see; I like to crochet, knit, and quilt of course :-). I paint (mostly with acrylics),I love gardening and cooking/baking. I also love to scuba dive!!!! (That's the only sport I really participate in..lol) Ceramics is also on my list of hobbies, I love to sculpt and making pots without ceramics paints, I rather use horsehair and the smoking process to decorate. I am absolutely in love with the Native American designs and their culture. Every once in while I take out the molds I brought with me from Europe, and make Venetian Masks.
