Before I began quilting, I did counted Cross Stitching for over 30 years.. Due to becoming Legally Blind ( according to DMV, and my eye surgeon , but not according to me ), my eyes can't handle the small stitching any longer.. Out of sheer boredom, I walked into a store, saw a quilt hanging, and thought " I can do that! ", so set out trying to come up with material at home to do just that.. my first ugly quilt ever. haha, but since, then enjoy quilting , just not as much as CCS... I also make , when I have materials , greeting cards, with embellishments, ect I find here at home. I dont know if any other scrap bookers/ card makers are on this board, but would love to see some of your creations if so.. and maybe do some kind of pay it forward, or giveaway/ trade for scrapbooking stuff too.. Afterall, quilters aren't the only ones who are generous with our fabrics, and such.. ( I love being a dual diagnosis " client " -quilter/cardmaker...
