One of the last times I took my mother to doctor's before her death from Alzheimer's/kidney failure, I put in a cd of Andy Griffith's gospel music. Mother had not known who I was for over a year and was not able to hold a conversation. But when that music came on, she began singing the songs perfectly, remembering every word. I joined in and we sang our way across Houston's afternoon rush hour. I didn't care how long it took because it was such a blessed time. Six months later I lost both her and my husband within 9 days of each other. But I will always remember that blessed afternoon.
Thank you to you and all the other gospel singers!

Garden and raise butterflies.

spring summer and fall i have my outdoor hobbies. which include my yard and flowers and my three gardens. then in winter i quilt and i love to read.

I grow African Violets, orchids, do some stamping, love to cook ethnic foods, and I have run a private rescue for dogs from my home.

In summer..my quilting/sewing slows down and I tend my flower gardens and feed the native birds which I adore too.

Read, sew, quilt, bake bread, crochet (13 afghans made for last Christmas), knit "Nebraska" stocking caps for the babies at the local hospital (1500 so far). Also enjoy making small projects with cloth and paper, such as quilted postcards, table runners, etc.

I honestly get tired of quilting from time to time. and then I crochet, read, punch embroidery,needlepoint, Just different stuff to keep busy

knitting, crocheting, spin wool, gardening, Civil War civilian reenactor, and genealogy. I am also really interested in making items from vintage patterns - mostly 19th century, some early 20th century. They can certainly be a challenge sometimes, though.

Have been doing counted cross stitich & crocheting for over 20 yrs. I decided to try something new and just finished my beginner's quilt class and first lap quilt. Loved the class I took and quilt I made & now I think I've got a new love "QUILTING"

we'd love to see a photo of your quilt

Basketweaving, Loom Weaving, Knitting.

i love to spend time working in my yard in the spring thru fall

OK, I better add that one of my new hobbies is learning from this board!

knitting has been a passion for decades

My hobbies include Reading,Bobbin Lace Making,Bunka Embroidery, Machine Embroidery and of course Quilting.
BUT my FAVORITE thing to do is be a Grandma, living life all over again through the eyes of my grandchildren. What a blessing!

I do agility with one of my dogs.

ohhhhhhhhhhnooooooooooooo, I don't need to know there is any such thing as a freecell hand held game. If I'm on the computer, I've got a freecell game up.

Mrs.Howl? How cute. I'm betting she very much loved!

A few years ago I tried to teach myself tatting. I tried and tried and somewhere along the way discovered the little "snap" that you need to do to get the thread in the right possition. I made a couple little butterflies and called it quits. I simply don't have the patience to do the little repetitions necessary to make anything.

Good luck on learning and let us see a couple small projects.

Have you translated any of your glass designs into fabric designs?

Do you drive the car a lot? I'd have to go out every day just to make heads turn!

what all do you have starrted in that window?

Years ago my MIL attempted to teach me how to tat. After trying for some time she decided I was a lot cause with tatting!

If you are new to knitting, I hope you are trying all the cables and laces you can find. Knitting is so easy once you learn the basics. Aran style is my favorite

Beautiful!

I'm good at the first 3, have not figured out how to do the 4th.

Great work! love the sunset

I'll take a good buttery pound cake. Thank you!

Bad typing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cute! Are some of them used for door stops?

the glass you use is beautiful.

great cakes

Oh, well, so do I. And dog hair. Now that it's spring I need to start brushing them more. Hard to brush 4 jealous dogs at once!

If I was able, healthwse, flower gardening would be my next favorite after sewing and quilting. During the winter, reading is my favorite hapbby, especially when it is a story about quilting. For you, who, do love to read, let us know some of your favorite authors. I will submit some of mine later this week.

No way, unless you have a recipe like the lady who did my older DD's wedding cakes. The absolutely best cake I've ever tasted. She had 3, decorated as gifts. One was a cherry cake, one was chocolate and one was coconut. Simply fantastic

What a wonderful memory to have of your mom. Sorry about both deaths.

It's actually quite easy after you learn the trick of snapping the thread into place. But way too repetitive for me

Sorry for so many replies in a row. Had to read all the way thru 20+ pages.

I'm amazed at all the hobbies. I'd have guessed you all would have stayed in the handicraft areas with your hobbies. Glad to see I'm wrong.

And some of you are quite physically active with your hobbies. LOL, mine are mostly sitting hobbies.

Congrats to all of you!

Completely understand! My "Tuisian" should have been "Tunisian"!! LOL
