Well I'm not old enough to get in with the seniors and not short enough to fit into the tent. I do have gardened but thats no longer my fav hobby. Nope, since 6yr or something I stitch small bits of fabrics together = I quilt! Nowadays mostly appliqué . I don't think I ever had a "hobby" that has satisfied me so much for so long a time. One of my doctors told me it's good for the mind - the eye, hand and brain working together in harmony. Personally I think all handicrafts are good for the mind

So are there anyone else here who is into quilting?

It is something I am working on starting as I love home made quilts. I am gathering fabrics at the moment. I am currently knitting a quilt but really want to make fabric ones. I need a place to do it which is one of the things stopping me. No where to park my sewing machine just now. We are renovating a very old farmhouse.

I never thought about knitted quilts until I saw this http://kviltstina.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpid-Photo-5-okt-2013-1425.jpg

Very Kaffe Fassetish, like it.

Until some months ago I sewed at the dining room table (which was large) - what a drag to clean it all away when having people over for dinner. Today my de lux sewing space looks like this http://wolfiestitchin.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2132&action=edit I just looooove it.

I love handwork! Gathering fabrics is so fun.
