My favorite stitching is a variety of embroidery as embellishment to quilts.  I've learned lots of stitches in a Brazilian embroidery class at our guild.  My favorite surface design is applique.  I work on quilts or cutting or something at least two days a week.  I keep a sketchbook/journal for ideas for both quilting and writing.  I'm not sure what I want to learn new so I go to quilt workshops to learn whatever I can from my friends and fellow quilters.  I'll know what I want to learn when I encounter it!  My favorite color is red and various shades of red.  My stash needs more greens.  I was working on a quilt recently and looking for a green and realized how little variety in green I had.

2. What's your favorite surface design technique?  Patchwork

4. Do you keep a journal or sketchbook?  Sporadically

5. What one new thing do you want to learn or master this year?       Machine quilting

6. What's your favorite color?   Green

7. What do you need more of in your stash?    Probably nothing; I have outgrown my closets, cabinets and tables because  I have been stashing fabrics of all textures, colors and sizes for the day when I can quilt every day.  Just like exercise, the only way this is going to happen is if I make it a priority and 2013 is my year for quilting and exercise.

1- my favorite stitching technique is English paper piecing and have a few quilts that have these hexagons so I always seem to have some with me. :)

2-my surface designs have been limited to threads, applique and beading.  I am looking toward to learning new things this year.

3- I quilt whenever I have the time and take hand work with me try when I know I will have a few extra minutes to sew. I like to think my quilts are art.

4- yes,  I have a notebook with lined paper on the front and graph paper on the back and I use that to jot down notes and designs I want to make into quilts or purses.

5- I want to dye or paint my fabric this year.

6- black, white, red and pink are my top four but I would have to say red is my

Favorite Color because I feel powerful and sexy when I wear it.  It is a bold color.

7- fabric!!!  But I made myself a promise NOT to buy anymore until I complete a few. UFO 's ..however. I could always use threads, and paint sticks!

favor

I like the ease of free motion and the control of hand quilting.  

Seed stitch using perle cotton

I try to do something creative every day.

I don't have a formal journal.  I document my work on-line and am trying very hard to collect my sketches and notes all in one place.

I would like to work on thread painting.

I like whatever color I am looking at.

I have a hard time finding true purples and  happy yellows.

Machine stitching takes me further, but hand stitching adds dimension that I can't get with a machine.  I make art quilts as I have time and lately I'm finding more time!  No journal, but digital photos are taken.  I'd love to learn how to transfer what is in my mind to my fabric without distortion.  Favorite color is green, especially the sage greens.  When I look at my stash I see the need for inspiration!

Would love to see quick ideas for thank you gifts when you need more than one or two but don't have days to complete.   Quick gifts that are useful!

1) crewel hand embroidery, many different stitches makes it SO interesting.

   I also like doing Scandinavian-type designs on counted thread aida cloth.

2) I really like surface designs similar to crazy quilt work. Beads, buttons, variety          stitches, lace, applique's, etc...

3) daily. art/art/art.

4) I keep a journal with sketches in it.

5) I can't crochet at all, I don't understand the directions. But I would love to learn how to make very basic granny squares And learn how they are joined together.

I would also like to learn how to make rag rugs from fabric scraps.

And how to hand-macrame a pretty plant hanger with jute, that has big wooden beads.

6) My favorite color is green-purple-blue-yellow. Not necessarily in that order.

7) I need some metallic colors of embroidery floss. I also need a large self-healing mat, a large quilting ruler, and a rotary cutter for quilting.

I do little of it, but I really like hand stitching, particularly piecing.  I am currently learning to machine quilt.  I working on something almost every day.  I have always said I would start a journal or sketchbook, but never have.  I hope to completely finish this machine quilted quilt this year.  We are working on 2 - 12 1/2" blocks each month, and will put all the quilted blocks together in the fall.  My favorite colors are blue and yellow, together.

I NEED nothing in my stash, but will probably be adding more anyway.

Thank you.
