Which of your hobbies have you been doing
for the longest amount of time?
W
ould you laugh if I told you I have craft ADD?!?!?! ?I go from one thing to the next. ?I love trying new things. ?But sewing is what I have done the longest. ?I took Home Economics in junior high and made my first jumper (ugly) and tie for my dad (I doubt he ever wore it!). ?I tried sewing after my first child was born but quickly gave up with patterns that were too hard. ?Then we moved into a beautiful country home (in the city) with lots of oak woodwork windows that needed some window coverings we could not afford to buy all at once, so out of necessity, I made them. ?It was just simple hems I made with tension rods to go in. ?But that was the beginning and then I learned to find easy patterns and starting making clothes for me and the kids and even a bathrobe for my husband. ?I rarely make clothes any more now ( love to garage/thrift sale ? another hobby, huh?). ?I love sewing quilts and will make aprons here and there and little blankies. ?I?ve made pillow cases for gifts. ?I started making quilts when I was pregnant with my twins, about 21 years ago, and I still enjoy doing that.
I have also gotten into making cards, stamping, dry embossing, knitting,?scrap-booking, cross-stitch (which I did start in high school but rarely do any more ? have numerous unfinished projects) and making bracelets, which I still do. ?There?s things I?d like to learn how to do like making soap and candles. ?And, you probably could show me a new craft and I?d want to give it a try!
Yes, I have craft ADD! 
First quilts I made for my twin daughters while they were nesting in my womb
