    @xantedeschia, Mother uses South Maid crochet thread.
    Mother crochets bedspreads and afghans.

    I'll have to check that brand out. Thank you for the recommendation. :stew1:

    Thank you. It is very relaxing. I'm also hoping to make a dent in my yarn stash between the weaving and the planned sock making in the upcoming year. :stew1:

    My mom and my sister in law both crochet. As a matter of fact, once they sit down it's hard to get them to do much else!

    I have done crochet but only made squares and sewed them together and made blankets for my dogs/boys.
    I'm much better at knitting my mother showed me when i was 5.
    Always messing around with the tredle sewing machine when i was little and started sewing properly when i went to secondary school at 11.

    Thank you and that's great @Deana Tankersley it's very popular to do patchwork quilts here but i haven't, just dress making. I stopped doing it because i couldn't get the fabric, a few years back somebody told me about a little shop in town and good prices.
    It's the same with the wool to do crochet with, but now can get it at Aldi or Lydle.

    I haven't made quilts in a few years, have sold a lot of my fabric but kept all of the snowflake prints. I plan on making quilt tops from them for each of our kids and grandkids next year. I can not hand quilt any more, 15 years of doing that causes a lot of pain now so I plan on bundling each quilt top with batting, backing and money to have it machine quilted. Some of my quilts....
