I quilted about 4 baby blanket sized / lap blanket size quilts, but I quit, and now I can't remember how I did it.

Oh my yes i have lots of these! I made a box and put letters i inherited when my mom passed away, they are very old letters from my great grandparents and my mom when she was a child. It is a very special box I love it :) thanks for the reminder

I wasn't aware that it was still going strong! Nice!

I loved making my crafty plastic canvas when I was younger. I made so many things. I think everyone got at least one Kleenex box holder as gifts from me. I see that there are still patterns out there in the craft shops but I don't know many that still do it. Due to my arthritis I had to give up embroidery and cross stitching but I wonder if I could do plastic canvas with my arthritis. Hmmm might have to find some supplies and see if I can still do this. Thanks for the awesome flood of warm fuzzy memories.

Plastic canvas is larger and easier to see, and I think easier to do. My daughter made a little clothing closet for her little sisters' dolls out of plastic canvas.

Macrame! :-) But I want to make some plant hangers again. I used plain jute & painted wooden beads in the 70's but now there is so much more I can do creatively. Loved plastic canvas, actually still do. Have some waiting to be worked on right now lol Thanks for the peek into the past!

I hear that there are several plastic canvas groups on Facebook. I bet there are macrame groups, too!

I cross stitched. I have several unfinished projects that may or may not ever get done. I made small framed Christmas ornaments when I was in Jr. High that I still hang on my tree. I have a picture of flying ducks I gave to my husband that's hanging in our bedroom and I made my oldest daughter a Christmas stocking that is very detailed.

LPZ: I LOVED macrame' & cross-stitch. I still see some at Goodwill and know how much time went into making that plant hanger, wall hanging or purse...using knots. It was a "mindless" thing I could do while watching tv, or listening to music. As a young mother...both took away the "stress" of new motherhood.

those mindless ones really got us through tough times!

I used to do cross stitch, hand embroidery, long stitch. I have some of those plastic canvas books too. So much stuff still hanging around, no wonder my kids tell me to get a skip bin ha ha. I have 4 boys and the wives aren't really into any of this stuff unfortunately.

I started a cross stitch for my daughter when she was maybe five years old. She's 25 now, and I never did finish it. I lost it for awhile, and when I found it, she was no longer excited about Minnie Mouse designs.

Wow! Just got done with a plastic canvas purse and note pad cover with pockets. I’m loving everything plastic canvas as I just discovered this art. Lolly can u do a few tutorials for us newbies? 🤦‍♂️

AmiraInOz Crafts True! My plastic canvas is sooo buried though. Hard to get to. It's actually still popular. There are several FB groups.

Hey Lolly! Sorry I have been a little MIA as of late. I so remember plastic canvas. My mother did all kinds of plastic canvas. From the magnets to boxes to cover Kleenex boxes to dolls and drink coasters. She did it all. You wouldn’t believe the amount of supplies I got rid of when she passed away. She even did pictures that you like stuffed certain elements and then framed them. Do you know what I am talking about? About the only craft that I can think of that I don’t do anymore is make candles. Hope you are doing well!

I wonder if they still offer those patterns. I hope that you have a blessed weekend!💞
