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 am so un-talented in that area that I have not even thought of something that I would like to do.

I thought of something else I do: I embroider. I haven't done any in ages, but I used to, and have examples here and there (and at my Mom's, kind soul that she is to hang them, lol), and I probably still could.
