Weekend Assignment: Hobby of Mine

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Friday, March 6, 2009


Are there any hobby activities you've always wanted to try? What is their appeal? Also, what's stopping you from pursuing them?

I've always wanted to try painting. When Chris was a baby we used to watch the painting shows on PBS together. They made it look so easy. But I knew deep in my heart that since I couldn't draw, I couldn't paint.

Extra Credit: What was the last hobby activity you did?

Sewing. I still sew and quilt from time to time. Here's a quilt that I made several years ago:

I tried my hand at knitting, but I can't do much beyond knit and purl, which works for scarves like this one:

Yes, Karen, it's what you think it is, made to the purported BBC specifications.

I would never in a million years take up quilting or knitting, but I LOVE that quilt you're showing off here. The cat design is subtle and stylish, and the bright colors are cheerful and satisfying. Well done!
