Quilt Patchwork Patterns
Do you have little quirks about your fav hobby?
I was just curious how many of you out there have little quirks about your fav hobby? Like for example, my very fav hobby is cross stitching prequilted, prestamped baby quilts. When I start them I ALWAYS start working on the outline of the pattern first, then all the stain stitch, & french knots, that way after all that I only have the x's left to do. I used to not only do all that, but when all that was done, then Id go & do all of 1 color through the whole quilt, but I now do only 1 area after all the outline, satin stitch, & french knots are done. And I ALWAYS make sure my hands are super clean when I work on the quilt. I want to know its super clean when i work on it. If there is a stain on it, (that is if its not on the pattern), I use those colorx bleach pens to get the stain out, before it has to be washed. PLus, if its blood for example I use proxide (helps boil out the blood), & then the bleach pen. But I only do the baby quilts that are white to begin with, that way that way none of the colors fade. Also I am my WORST critic, if it dosnt look right, i take out what is done, & start back over again, till it looks right. What are your little quirks about your fav hobby you do?

- Well, I crochet and if I miss a stitch I will take it out and start over from the skipped stitch. Also, when I am workig a pattern, especially one of my own creation, and it doesn't look right finished I will take out and try again.
