I'm glad you asked! There is applique, embroidery (crazy quilting, or otherwise, English paper piecing (such as sewing 1" hexies) and, of course, there is always sewing on binding. I keep a "Sew 'N Go" kit ready at all times for these portable projects. It's a great way of killing two birds with one stone: You don't waste time when you have to wait, and you advance whatever project you're working on.

Besides quilting I like to crochet. It is much easier than knitting. No dropped stitches and only one crochet hook.
Ive done lap size throws for years. But I do have to be in the mood just like quilting. It is still summer so not in the mood to sew at all. To nice outside.

do you hand applique? i am prepping 2 blocks to go with the 2 blocks I have in progress. 2 weeks on vacation with plane rides and car trips! I have 2 knitting projects, hand applique and quilt to bind/deliver! Here is a link to Erin Russek's blog. Look on the right side bar for BOM and free projects. She also has applique lessons too. I have gotten alot of good tips.

I love doing hexagons. there is a tute on Hickory Nuts I believe it's called. I made all finished individual hex's and then stitched them into rows by hand too. then into the size of a small quilt. my friend used black backing that folded over and it looked so much better than the different greens I used.
