What did you do before quilting?
There was a before? Hmm -suppose that's true..... Well, I've been sewing
since age 6. Didn't actually make a quilt until I was about 25, but spent lots of years acquiring scraps before then. As for the rest of life, there's been a bit of this, a bit of that.

What did you do before quilting?
I sewed clothes for my kids until they decided they wanted to wear
jeans and sweatshirts like everyone else. Now my older one would like me to make her suits for work and I tell her it is less expsensive to buy them.

What did you do before quilting?
I didn't give up too much when I started quilting. I still tend to my
herb gardens, make my own hand creams and moisturizers, bird watch, volunteer at church, and run the food pantry. Quilting is an additional interest and although I've never considered myself creative, this seems to be the one hobby that has stuck. I've also done stamping and furniture painting. I honestly can't remember what I did with all the spare time I had before quilting, probably just more housework, and I really don't miss that. Denise |

What did you do before quilting?
Before quilting I beaded and played with clay! Before that I painted folk
art, before that I made dolls and before that I sewed clothing and make costumes. -- Bonnie NJ "Betsy Ross" wrote in message nk.net... I used to maintain my garden, cook meals, and sew clothes. Susan aka Betsy Ross |

What did you do before quilting?
went out with friends, studied, dated! craftwise I don't remember,
though I always have been creative, drawn and painted, only when i moved to the US and started gradschool I started acquiring quilting supplies.. my then boyfriend was 3 hours away so unless I was studying our out I had a lot of free time! Wow, I had FREE time!!!! Before that they were all make do hobbies - fabric scraps a clothesmaker neighbour gave me were made into a coverlet, I 'scrapbooked' with things cut out of magazines, I knitted with the left over yarn my aunt gave me...

What did you do before quilting?
The crafts I gave up when quilting too over a knitting, counted
cross stitch, rubber stamping/card making and smocking. The only one I miss is smocking, but I don't have any little girls around anymore to make pretty dresses for. Maybe great-nieces or granddaughters someday..... marcella |

"Butterfly" wrote in message ... Butterfly (I still have the beaded crocheted Barbie Doll dress with train that I did for DD) Oooooo! I ran across those Annie's Attic crocheted Barbie dress patterns in my craft closet the other day. I must have 30 of them. I got them in the early 90's. If I recall, I got them through the mail, every month. They are so elaborate and so beautiful. I doubt I ever make a one of them. But they were fun to look at again. Cindy |

What did you do before quilting?
Lots of stuff, including (but not limited to) garment sewing, counted
cross-stitch, knitting, crocheting, woodworking, more reading, macrame. These have pretty much all gone by the wayside now, except for an occasional garment (mainly pj's for the grandkids, my swimsuits, and dollclothes for DGD) Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |
