I was a puzzle addict before I became a quilt addict...

Me, too!!!

Christmas tradition.... while my sewing room is used as a guest room, we sit around the table and put puzzles together. Hadn't thought about the connection to quilting, but, I think there must be one!

I love to do jigsaw puzzles. Do them in the winter when not quilting. I also like crosswrod puzzles

Never put the two together, but it does make sense. I just love to put puzzles together, when I quilt I don't want to do anything else, and when I put puzzles together I have the same feeling.

I do

I love doing jigsaw puzzles as well....ever since I was very young. It's hard to make time right now for both quilting AND puzzles, but I can't wait to retire in a few months and maybe then I can do a puzzle now and then too :D ....maybe :wink:

I love jigsaw puzzles! Others are fun too!
For something different, put a puzzle together, then put a sealer-like verathane-on it. You can then put it on the wall, or use it under a piece of glass in a coffee table~

I seem to find quilt pattrns in eerything. My son just got new carpet and I sear it was the rail fence pattern.

I love puzzles but once I start one I have to finish. I have trouble walking away (much the same as starting a quilt or reading a good book) !!

I do jigsaw puzzles also.-Just need a break from sewing sometimes.

I love doing puzzles too!

Thanks Cynthia! The letters are needle turn applique. I LOVE applique :lol: I started with my nephews name, first and last, that's why you see "Boudreaux" in gold letters, then I just had words that decrribed him and made them all fit!!

I agree! :thumbup:

I am completely puzzled too, Hsve a really big one up in the living room right now. How fun to think of others who have other addictions.

I really dislike puzzles.

I love any puzzle that keeps my mind working.

used to but don't have time now too busy quilting. lol.

I love the crossword and sudoku puzzles in the daily paper.

I love them so much that i get one delivered to my in box every morning, don't feel i've started the day properly without my puzzle.

I love jigsaw puzzles. I will be starting a Christmas gift soon. It has 3,000 pieces. Can't wait to start it

Thanks for that idea don't know why I haven't thought of it before :? Duuuuh!!! Now I have to figure out how to get the ones I have done off the cardboard so I can do them that way. But if I can't without messing them up.. :| I guess I will have to buy some new ones :thumbup: :D BillsBonBon

I like to do puzzles but between this board and quilting and other chores like cleaning, cooking, washing clothes who has time for puzzles???

Merry Maids......

I LOL when I read this. Yes I love jig saw puzzels, crossword puzzels, matching games, etc. I never associated it to quilting, but I guess it makes sense.

My confession is that I stink at any math beyond the basics. I cannot do even the simplest sudoku puzzles, either. But I rule at jigsaws and crosswords lol.

If you have all kinds that you have put together, why not donate them to a nursing home or senior citizen home? My mother lived in a high-rise and each floor had a puzzle going all the time. I give mine to a neighbor who takes them to work with her. She works at a nursing home.

Never thought about that! but in thinking about it, yes that does seem to be true. But then women have been known to be creaters of all sorts of things. Lol

I have one started seeting on my coffee table so I can work on it anytime.

I do. Not much on the seek a words, but love those crosswords.

So sorry, I read this wrong. Please forgive! I do like working puzzles too. Especially with friends and family.

Me too. Horrible at math but great at jigsaws and crosswords. I'm a visual person.

Had to try the round robin puzzle. Fun.

This is a good site with so many veriations of puzzles. Love it.........now when do I get time to quilt??

I love to do jigsaw puzzles. I get it from my Mom..along with my love of all things crafty. The only thing she never got into was quilting..lol.

i love to do both and still get confused on both.

13 pages and no one mentioned Rebecca Barker quiltscapes puzzles...wow. I have them hanging in my hallway by the quilt room. She also has couple of books on the quilts that I also own. I put them together, glue them and my husband frames them and hangs them for me. Love her site http://www.barkerquiltscapes.com

I do and so do my children and husband. We have two large puzzles laying out right now tha tpeople are working on and we did about 5 over the last couple of weeks. When they are done DH uses puzzle glue and the kids take turns picking out one for themselves to hang up. Guests that worked on them get the finnished puzzle pictures too.

Love them.. can't leave one alone once it's out of the box!

I had never heard of this before, but when I went to the site, I was totally blown away. I saved it to visit often.

i like to put puzzles together

I love to do puzzles too, but right now I have kind of stocked up on some. I love the ones with quilt pictures. I got one for Christmas this year from my DGD, & it has 2000 pieces, so it wont fit on my card table. So will have to use the kitchen table & use the card table to eat at.
