So, I was wondering,, what is your favorite hobby-crafting of choice?
I use to be an avid Cross stitcher, until my eyes got bad...
I do enjoy 're medial' quilting and crocheting... Also stenciling and simple painting projects...
Oh and of course YoYo's... lolol

I like to work with wool applique. I find it is forgiving with my hand & eye coordination problems because of MS and maybe the fact I turned 81 in March has a tad to do with it too.

Grace…I’m with Denise…how to pick just one! Lol. If I really and truly had to pick it would be Papercrafting…but I revived my love of sewing again sooooooooooo! :)
I’m glad we live in a world where we don’t have to choose! :)

I love drawing and painting but crafting? Very hard for me to decide between the things I love to create but easy for me to say the least favorites are sewing, crocheting, knitting, tatting. Slow stitch, quilting. Can't sit long enough to try those. ;)

Well, so many I have tried to choose from - favorite is quilting and other sewing projects. Also enjoy crochet and knitting. Have done cross stitch, embroidery and crewel, but like Grace, eyesight isn't what it used to be.

I think I have tried almost all crafts it seems over the years. I do what I have a need for, or a desire to do. My favorite would be working with wool, I think. Hard to pick just one.

Ok, so my least fav... is Tatting and the One-Stroke painting... ( who remembers the Donna Duberry painting method??)
She made it look so easy... I took the class, bought the Video (VHS) and all the fancy brushes and skill matts... and my butterflies still looked like Drunk Moths!!!
I still love cross stitching,, I am going to order the 11ct Aida cloth so I can see the grids better...
I enlarge the pattern, and use a yellow hi-liter to mark of the stitching as I go..

Oh my, Gracie. I guess I would say sewing and papercrafts are my favorites.
I used to enjoy cross-stitch and beading/jewelry making, but those don't go well with my Parkinson's and glaucoma anymore.
Life certainly brings changes doesn't it!

It's impossible for me to pick just one. I have so many crafts that I love to do that it would probably take a solid paragraph or more to name them all.

My favorite would probably be crochet and cross stitching. I also really enjoy quilling but I haven't spent a lot of time with that yet. But I have so many other things I want to learn, so who knows, I may change my mind in the future.

I started with cross-stitch and tole painting. Now I enjoy paper crafting, junk journals, and learning to be more proficient at sewing and quilting.

I would say sewing and crocheting are tied for the top spot for me. I also like paper crafting and I'm enjoying relearning to knit. I'm not sure it's a craft but I also LOVE to bake!

When I can sit for a while I like to quilt and when I can't I like to upcycle things, which could involve paint, fabric or paper.

Diana, Everleigh has one of Grace's owl creations! That was back in April of 2020!
Everleigh still has it and loves it! Thanks Grace. Just know that all your pain doesn't go unappreciated or loved!
