Besides quilting I enjoy reading, puzzles, flower gardening and making unique things out of old items. Thru the years I've done scrap booking, card making, and I also like decorating. I also enjoy traveling. I've heard tell if you like doing puzzles, you'd probably enjoy quilting and I know that's true for me. I made my first quilt at age 18 when my fiancé was in the Navy. My Mom gave me material left from making clothes, gave me a scissors, a cardboard triangle template and told me to cut them and then sew two together to make a square. Quilting sure has come a long way since then. I know I sewed them together on a black singer. I so wish my mom was still around so I could ask her about that machine. Anyway that is my story - hope I didn't bore you.

I watch birds. I ride my bike on short trips, no more than ten miles one way. I try not to watch the birds to much while riding my bike because birds do not turn right on a red light. (Which is Ok in California. It took some getting used to.) I play board games of the newer more puzzle-like kind when I can get to the game store and find other players or when internet friends visit.

Photography, is my main hobby, I also crochet, and raise a veggie garden. I am trying to be as self sufficient food wise as possible on about 1 acre in town (small rural town) so I also raise rabbits and chickens. (but that is more of a life style then hobby)

I love that you answered the question in verse.
I'll be the second since you were the first.

For hobbies I love to quilt with machine,
And by QB standards, I'm still quite green.

I used to enjoy cooking, but have lost my mojo.
DH and son say, "We'll call Papa John's while you sew."

Scrapbooking once appealed to my creative bones,
but now I prefer the cutting, pressing, and quilting zones.

Words with Friends, Facebook, and some bloggin',
Pinterest and this board attract my ole noggin.

I'm not a crocheter, a knitter, or hooker,
But I love to curl up with a fresh book or

two.

Those are my hobbies and I've got another
but I can't say what it is. Just ask my mother.

Any pictures? I would love to see what a sock knitting machine is!

That was great! All of them are great! Didn't CD start a thread for poems? All these should be copied to it.

I have to jump in on this one, I've enjoyed reading others responses here. My other hobbies are finding treasures of all sorts at thrift stores, Birding, fly fishing, paddling canoes and kayaks, finding and fixing up old cruiser bikes is a new hobby I just picked up and i'm liking that immensely. Playing Bass Clarinet in an adult concert band, and gardening. I'm kinda ADD, so I thrive at doing a lot of things, just none of that all that well.

I've picked up that most here are ADD. Strange for a bunch of seamstresses. Kind of like a librarian driving a red convertible sports car. Just doesn't calculate under most circumstances.

Really? I would have thought that seamstresses would be working on multiple projects at the same time, therefore ADD being an advantage not a hindrance.

My nephew was spending the week-end and finished his homework. I asked if needed any and he said no. A couple weeks later his Mom sent me something. There was a short note from her saying I needed to see this. His homework was to write about someone in his family and he had picked me. He went on to say that I took him to garage sales and flea markets and auctions. That was fine but the next line was "she collects anything she can get her hands on" That pretty much sums me up
