My mom was a quilter. Do you hand quilt with frames or machine quilt? Or both? My mom, who has passed away, and her best friend used to have an on going argument about quilting. My mom did hand quilting. She prefered to do lap quilts with a hand held frame, but we did have a large frame taking up space in the living room when I was younger. Her best friend loved to machine quilt. She used to try to get her friend to do hand stitching and would tease her that using a sewing machine was cheating and not real quilting. The goading never worked, but they both enjoyed quilting in their own way. Both of my parents were grew up in the country and came from mothers who quilted. They’ve both said it was not unusual to come home and have a house full of women having a quilting bee, working on the same quilt. I have some of my mom’s quilts that I cherish.
My mom also did plastic canvas. We used to have tissue box holders and other things around the house. My mom taught me, but I haven’t done it in years. She was into just about any craft there was. We have stuff to knit, quilt, crochet, needlepoint, leather work, woodworking, painting, etc.
I also like to make dollhouses. I haven’t done it in a few years, but I like to build and make 1:12 scale houses and furniture. The kind that you’d never allow little hands to touch in a million years. I’ve been getting the itch to get back into it, but I’ll wait until spring. All that sanding and painting isn’t a great thing to do inside in the cold of winter.
There use to be a big argument in the quilting community HAND vs MACHINE quilting but everyone agrees now… DO IT YOUR WAY.
I am learning how to free motion quilt on a domestic / standard sewing machine. I do not use a long arm with the 14 foot frame. My hands cramp when I tried hand quilting; I no longer do embroidery because of that.I think any crafting results in a sense of satisfaction and creativity regardless of what it is. Doing crafts as long as a person enjoys the work is what is important.

.I personally feel that instead of messing with OUaT the fans should write their own stories… that would be of greater interest to me then writing about characters someone else invented. I personally find the story that is evolving on OUaT to my liking and do not need the match up that occur on the side.
Sorry if that hurts someones feeling but how I feel.
