Always crafting

 Hello Friends

I have something different to share with you today.  I have discovered why I don't get much quilting done.  I am a crafter not just a quilter.  If I see something I really like, I try to figure out how I can make it on my own.  Don't get me wrong, I do support other artists and will buy patterns and other items.  Recently, ok, last October, I saw a deco mesh wreath.  I had been to my local Dollar Tree and bought some supplies.  They usually have a great selection of signs.  I watched a few YouTube tutorials and made this:


It hung on my door at work for the season.  I then made this for at home:

My sister was a big fan of this so I may have to make one for her next year.
I have a big tote of the deco mesh and a few signs yet.  I am going to work on finishing a few more this summer when it's too hot to quilt.  I also need to just stop doing other things and stick to quilting!  I have so many patterns and fabric to use.  I am currently working on a quilt for a coworker who is retiring this summer.  Hope to show you the finished product soon!

Are you a multi crafter?  How do you keep everything organized?  How do you manage it all?  I love to do other things, but I am missing quilting.

Blessings
