What did you do before quilting?

I used to maintain my garden, cook
meals, and sew clothes.

I use to have an eBay business & a webstore. I have since stopped the eBay
business but maintain the webstore. I also worked out a lot. I still do all
the other stuff I use to do.

I was an avid cross-stitcher (32 count linen until my eyes gave out) and
rubber stamper.

Counted cross stitch

Since I started when I was 5, its kinda hard to remember. I have tried all
kinds of other needlework and had continued it until my hands gave out. Now
I can't even sew on a button but I sure can run teh SM on my good days : )
Unfortunately I gave almost ALL my work away so i ahve very itle to show for
it...cept a few pixs. I do have a piece of: counted cross stitich, crewel,
embroidery, a few afghans both knit and crochet, filigree crocheted shawl
that I have kept. Don't ahve any sweaters left--and a lot of them were
stolen on our one move--my sweaters, kids sweaters, afghans and almost
finished counted
crossstitch piece. (yes. they did catch and prosecute the theives. They had
a real ring set up--we never did get anything back tho)

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.

I used to get Annie's Attic too and love them. Gave most of them to my
newest daughter-in-law for her 7-year-old last fall, but couldn't find
the ones I "thought" I had with the Barbie patterns. Maybe I was
dreaming I had those, but I sure did tear the place apart looking for them.

If I recollect correctly this one was in one of those small booklets that
coats and Clark put out. Just had Barbie Wedding and Bridesmaids dresses in
it ---or was it just 2 different Brides dresses. I 'added' the beads to the
thread before I started the crocheting.didn't like the 'way it looked when I
was done with the pattern so I added a train onto the bottom back of the
skirt---no pattern just continued the dress crochet pattern. ((Hope this
made sense) Now I DO have to get it out and get it 'set up', even take a pix
)) I did it when DD was 7/8 whilst I was waiting in DDS and Dr offices
(both kids had allergy shots that year)

I should get this out and restarch it and put it "under glass" so it can be
admired like it should.......right now it is wrapped in acid free paper with
the rest of DD's Barbie Doll collection.
