- What textiles are you interested in?
- The shorter answer is what aspects I'm NOT interested in. I don't care much for hand quilting (although I know how), I'm not very good at knitting, and I haven't bothered to teach myself lacemaking (yet). I've done counted cross stitch since I was very little, learned to crochet while I was laid up with a broken collarbone, and have started teaching myself other skills along the way (needle and shuttle tatting, needlepoint, crazy quilting, and knitting).
- Where did you learn your textile skills?
- Various places. It's a family tradition on my mom's side - she has embroidered tea towels her grandmother gave her, and I have a set made by Mom's cousin. I taught myself several others, from books or the internet, and I was lucky enough to find a Textiles class offered by the art department at the local community college last spring where I learned a few more things.

Ike didn't care, and took out power in most of the city. While it was light outside, I cleaned fallen branches out of our yard, then helped some neighbors do the same in their yard.

Finally got my pic added to my profile - it's going to be the top of a pincushion. And being as how college football season has begun, it seems appropriate to use this one. I may change the picture once the pincushion is finished to show the final view.
This is one of six pincushion tops I've crazy quilted. My mom and mother-in-law were cutting 2 1/2 inch squares of muslin, and there were a few pieces that were only 2 x 2 1/2 inches. I claimed those for pincushions. Now I just have… Continue
