What other hobbies do you have?

Quilting and gardening are equal in my hobbies, but I also used to do crochet, knit (once), paint garden stones, sew pillows (mostly quilted ones), and Interior Decorate. I took a course in the Interior decorating just so I could redo my own house. I also paint Holiday wooden yard art (hubby draws the grid on wood, I draw and then he cuts out and I sand and paint)
I made the ghost and cat many yrs ago

I made the stacked pumpkins - the eyes in some are knots in the wood

I've done quite a few different things, did silversmithing for awhile and made jewelry. I had a stained glass shop in IN with my girlfriend, gave classes, made stained glass for people and went to art shows to sell our things, that was fun. I attempted to quilt in the early 90's but that didn't last long. Now I'm starting again and I really love it, just not very good at it.

You mean there are hobbies other than quilting?
I have tried many of the other hobbies...drawing, painting, scrapbooking, knitting, crochet, cross stitch, soft sculpture, dollmaking, teddy bear making (even had my own teddy bear business)...none of them stuck really. Quilting is my passion and my poison. It is what makes my world go 'round. I can honestly say that I don't really have any other hobbies. (although, I would like to give stained glass a go someday. I've always talked about making stained glass inserts for my kitchen cupboards when we finally build our house!)

4-Wheeling, Ride Dirtbikes, play on round bales in pastures at my friends house, play the computer, go running, play soccer, play tennis, hanging out with my friends, there are so many more, I just can't think of them right now. :)

My hobby is working (LOL), but seriously...I crave granite, paint stones, gardening, cross stitch and refinish antique farm objects...i.e. iron kettle, cream seperators, antique bathtubs. I think that's it.

Besides quilting which is my newest hobby, I do scrapbooking, cardmaking and stamping, some jewelery making, I can knit but find it boring, used to love counted cross stitch but it's too hard for me to see now and it takes too long too. Used to do a lot of sewing (clothing) and I can't forget reading-usually 1-2 books a week and I like photography but really am an amatuer.
