What is my passion? Usually any project I tackle. I do all types of needlework and as long as I am not pushed for project completion, I enjoy the whole process.

On average, I spend about 3 days a week sewing. I would do it more often if life in general didn’t get in the way!
I also crochet almost every evening while relaxing in front of the TV. And again, I make anything and everything for family & friends — as well as to sell.

I sew, knit and crochet. Altho currently most of my sewing is quilt-related, I have spent many hours in the past making AG doll clothes for my grands. I love to see a picture and ‘figure out’ how to do it. I also enjoy knitting doll clothes, and people scarves. The latter is what I call ‘mindless knitting – I can just pick it up and knit away while watching tv or traveling without really having to think about it. Lately, tho, I’ve spent more time ‘researching (surfing on my tablet) than actual doing! If I had to put a number on it, I’d say 5-10 hours most weeks.
