    I quilt!! WHEN I ever get a new sewing machine.. I miss quilting and make clothes, pillow cases, bags, cat blankets .. cabin log is my favorite pattern .. see one here I made for my first niece (last picture) and I'm designing a new one!

    my aunt knit/crochets all the time, always wondering how long it takes her to finish scarf, hat, sweater, blanket, etc.. she is so good!
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..

    I do not quilt....I have squares here from like 15 years ago when I thought I could be Laura Ingalls Wilder........I am not.LOL soooooooo for me crocheting is twice as fast as knitting, but knitting is very fast for me also. I adore sewing as my grandmother was a seamstress so we all learned at a very young age and I love the freedom in clothing it gives me.Along with new curtains, bedspreads, table cloths slipcovers etc.

    I LOVE to sew. I wouldn't say that I'm fantastic at it, but I have made some pretty nice things. My current project is to make bugs for the walls in Leslie's (AdoreMyDogs) daughter's nursery!
    When I'm gone with those I plan on starting to build up an inventory of supplies and make/sell custom teddy bears... I don't know if that will ever get off of the ground but it is an idea

    Tyler's baby blanket... with the amount of work that I put into this I don't plan on giving it to him until he is WAY past the baby stage

    Blanket I made from a kit- SO easy!

    Curtains that I still need to hang up

    Blanket that I made for my husband when he lived in Japan alone:

    I'm a quilter. I quilt whenever I have spare time. I have always been a craft person. I've done everything from A-Z over the years.

    Missy: Those blankets look like what my Grandmother used to do. At that time, she called it weaving on Monk's cloth. Is that the same? I still have some of her work. It was fantastic. Your work is beautiful too.

    Thanks Barry!

    Does double knotting my son's shoes count?

    I would love to learn to knit or crochet, as it seems both these activites can be done quietly, in front of a TV, and while talking to others. I cannot stand simply sitting on the couch watching TV!

    I do have a lovely sewing machine- I have used it for making cat toys. Exclusively. LOL.
