Crafts

I know that many people are just crafty in general and they will do other things besides just cross stitch. I often think I would like to learn to knit and crochet but I am not sure I can take time away from my cross stitch to do another craft. I have so much that I am stitching on or want to stitch one day and there just isn't enough time for it all.


Oh, and have you seen tuffets? I am in love with these and want to take a class. There is a quilt shop about an hour from me but the class is expensive at $225 so I have resisted so far due to the price. But aren't these just gorgeous!!

I did take a beginning quilt class a few years ago and I can piece together very basic squares. I think that I would develop my talent with quilting pretty easily if I just devoted some time to it.


I am a member of a couple of facebook groups that focus on quilting and I joined a couple of exchanges in the last year or two. I joined a signature quilt exchange where everyone did squares and put their name and location in the middle of the square. I have not yet put all the squares together to make my top but the fabrics used are all so different and it will be so pretty when it is all put together.


I also joined a round robin quilt group where we each did the middle section of our quilt in the theme we wanted and then it was passed on to everyone else in the group where they added to it. Once your quilt made it back to you, the top is finished and you just need to quilt it. I have not yet quilted mine but you can see the top. I had a Paris theme.

However, I love to look at the crafts that others do. Tell me what other crafts you engage in besides cross stitch. I love to see pictures!
