We have a new member, Teri (tmaquilter) who is an avid quilter, so I thought a thread about handicrafts would make a nice topic of discussion to include her.....


so for those who are crafty and love handicrafts, tell us your latest project, how it's going, and how much longer until you have completed it  (at which time please, post a photo of your handiwork). 


For those whose cup of tea is not handicrafts, tell us what if you were talented in that department which handicraft might you be interested in pursuing?


Teri, go ahead and brag about your quilting if you wish!

I quilt, crochet, cross stich and knit.
My last project was a Quilt. I love to
cross stich, but it takes so long to do
it.

Martha - I knit dishrags too! I love them. I also love the homemade scrubbies, but don't have a pattern. Does your pattern use the nylon netting? Would you be wiling to share the pattern? I've been buying mine from a friend's mother who can no longer make them.

The scrubbies I make use plastic canvas nylon yarn and worsted weight cotton I don't have a link for this pattern.

I used top do a lot of plastic canvas...but since i got hurt in the accident in jan...i have no strenth in my left side.

I love wood working, painting the stuff i make,gardening/flowers,decorating,and would like to get painting (on canvas) big time!!maybe this winter!

forgot to mention that i sew!! I made my son a beautiful jean quilt out of ould jeans, last christmas. He loves it.I think quilts will be my new winter projects!!

I like cross stitch also, and I agree it takes a long time...
