I learned about Quilting by reading books and magazines.

When I was young I was very frustrated and was having problems with sewing. I am now much more patient and take the time to learn. Learning to quilt takes time and patience. I want to learn more, so far I have had pretty good success. Having learned on my own I think I have done pretty well.

Recently have been making greeting cards and other paper crafts. Now I am getting into quilting and sewing, having bought new Bernina sewing, embroidery and serger machines. I have been learning these hobbies myself, with help from books, Youtube and other sources.

I am experienced in crochet, knitting and tatting. I have been involved in crochet and tatting since 1998 but have pretty much retired from these crafts now.

I learned to crochet when I was a little girl, but I didn’t become really interested in it until I grew up. My grandmother crocheted, as did her mother. My grandmother showed me how to crochet, but she didn’t explain it to me because I am deaf and she did not know sign language. I paid attention to her as she crocheted.

When I first learned about Needle Tatting I found it easier than Shuttle Tatting.

I learned about knitting by reading books about it. Before I was very frustrated about knitting but now I better understand how to knit with needles. Since I had no one to teach me I had to learn on my own.

I enjoy making crafts projects at home and while traveling. I learned crafting from books and magazines.

I also take good care of my husband and our home. I spend a lot of time working (playing) with my Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch. I work on my web pages and help my hubby with his.
