Off on a different subject, I have a question... I know we all love to quilt, but what other crafts do you do???
I do the following:
Quilt (we all do that)
Knit
Sew regular clothes
Crochet
Tat
Bake
Cook (made french onion soup tonight, some in the hole if you want it)
Make wine
Preserve
Some gardening (I hate weeding!) but love to mow.
and Stained glass
And love to read! or have a book read to me, (books on tape)
I am trying to learn to do bobbin lace.
What do you have fun at????
Answers to the other questions
as for the clips I don't have any yet, still curious.
Applique have nothing in the way of tools, and still trying to learn it.
Zippers have a bunch but don't need them much ( I don't make bags)
Christmas fabric, yes I use it, but like it to be mellow, ie. general over all print.
