Hi Monika! This year I've quilted, done punch needle embroidery, made fabric boxes, flowers and I like wool felting too! I want to get into silk ribbon embroidery and stump work but I need to improve my regular embroidery first! Your blog always makes my day! - Patti Erikson-Reynolds

Hi Monika
It's me Michelle :). I am an artist and create in all mediums with mixed media, watercolour and digital being my main focus this year. I hope I win a copy of the magazine featuring your stitchery :).
Stay inspired!

I've dabbled in ceramics and glass blowing, made jewelry with wire, string and beads, but my main passion is sewing... quilting, clothes, household item. I've tried knitting and a few papercrafts (neither are for me). I'd LOVE to try out blacksmith-ing or welding if I could find a class or had the room or money! Thanks for the give away!
Hi Monika
I sew, quilt, knit, crochet, make cards. This year I made felt from scratch at a workshop and my 16 year old did one as well. I must admit her's was much better than mine. I'd love to learn to do tatting.
Hi. I sew, used to cross stitch a lot, basic knitting, and am new to quilting but it's all I'm interested in right now. Thanks for the chance.
Hi Monika
I've done embroidery, knitting, crochet, petit point, cross stitch, needlepoint, rug hooking, and some paper crafts. But my true love is sewing, especially quilting. I'm not sure what I'd like to try next. I love to wander through Michaels, and read crafty magazines and if something looks like fun, I'll try it!
Hi
I knit,crochet, emnroidery' cross stitch;. I have also done crewel and needlepoint in the past. I would love to be able to paint water colors.
Would be delighted to win!
Let's see - I have done latch hooking, crochet, knitting, cross stitching, quilting, painting (acrylics & oils), sewing (clothes, bags), jewellery making (metal work), beading, embroidery... wow that list is quite long! Nothing new I want to try at the moment, just want to work on some of these I've tried already!
I would love to win, I have never had the chance to look through this magazine yet... I would like to try needle felting.
I quilt! I embroider! I have thread-painted (badly) and knitted even worse. One day I might do a cross stitch, but I'm not making any promises.
Hello,
I love all kinds of crafts. Quilting, sewing, painting, ceramics, jewelery making, making stuffed animals, etc... The next project that I want to do is make a cover for my camera strap.

I am a quilter but have a cross stitch project on the go also. I also did crocheting years ago but once I discovered quilting that is where my heart is.
Hi I've done a tiny bit of embroidery, a tiny bit more beadwork, a little bit of quilting, a fair bit of crochet and lots and lots of knitting and cross stitch.
I'd like to try fibre art and swedish weaving (sounds intrguing)and creative sewing (well other than getting creative to make a dress fit)oh, and the 'and more!' - I've never heard of that - can't wait to see what it is. ;D
Right now I am addicted to quilting. So far I only have made block quilts. The thing I would like to get in to next is more paper piecing. I have done a few blocks, but am very interested in the beautiful blocks I could do with paper piecing. Thanks for the chance to win!
HI Monkia!
I just signed up for the crochet online class at craftsy.com and I can't wait to use those beautiful flower creations and my doll cloths. I LOVE your new photo.
Thanks a bunch Dena!!
Hi Monika, it looks like a great magazine. I started with sewing, branched into quilting (which is my big passion!) but have added stamping, journaling, fabric dyeing, and I am thinking of beginning to carve my own stamps this weekend!
Hi Monika,
I started sewing at age 10 making clothes for my barbie dolls. Garment construction is still my favourite passion. I learned to crochet (the hot 70's thing to have a crochet vest)and knit and then learned to quilt when my son was 1yr old (21 years ago). Now I make fabric postcards with you. I have also tried almost every other crafting thing along the way to be creative.
Hi,
I am Judee. I do quilting and knitting. I would like to do landscape quilts (like yours!)
Oh gosh. I think I started with garments,then knitting but crochet seemed faster. Macrame went by the wayside fairly quickly. QUILTING that has morphed into fibre arts(and all that entails) and now I want to add altered books to the mix.
At this time, I'm mostly interested in quilting even though I haven't actually done much of it. I've always been a "crafty" person and am from a family of makers (typical Saskatchewan farm family types).
The only problem for me is that working full time greatly interferes with my making anything ... including dinner.
emma Klasen oh christmas mags oh love them cant wait to see what is new to make
Monika,
I too started as a sewer - basically because I was too cheap 30 years ago to buy nurses uniforms!! I took up quilting 5 years ago and love it but like Heather I find working full time gets in my way! The other thing that gets in my way is restoring old houses - does that count as a craft. I am very crafty with old doors - turning them into upholstered headboards or redoing old chairs. In my spare time (haha) I love to scrapbook and make cards. I know that fabric postcards is going to be a huge favorite. I can knit (not well) and I can crochet (even worse!) but I can bake up a storm. Seems like a typical Sask rural farm girl!
