Who else knits or crochets or sews?

[Daisy and Delilah]

Hand sewing is very labor intensive. I have a "Grandmother's Flower Garden" that I sew by hand when I feel like working on it. That's usually a hand sewn pattern anyway. With my arthritis, I love to use the machine for everything.

I love the look of hand quilting. There's nothing like it. However , my machine has a hand quilting stitch. So far, I can't get it to work right. It would look pretty cool if I could figure it out. I do quite a bit of free motion quilting too. It takes alot of practice. I love the way it looks. My machine also has a stippling stitch on it too. It's cool but time consuming. I would rather just do it myself.

Did you check out the website I posted for Willie(page 2 I think)? You'll love it!! Marcia Hohn is fantastic!!

I knit hats and mittens and little accessories mostly. I making wristwarmers right know and a hat. I get most of my pattens for knitting from www.knittingpatterncentral.com .They have alot of good ones there.
But I also sew, right know i'm making curtains for my bathroom and cushions.
I"ve started a quilt but haven't finished it. It's been almost three years and its still sitting there... I should probably finish it already.
