With winter around the corner, I’m trying to decide on a hobby. Either writing or quilting. I have a few story ideas but also some pinwheels that I’d like to try.
I don’t see why you can’t do both- unless time is the issue?
If anyone wants to do a personal challenge while Jeff is on vacation, (it would not be a judged challenge just for fun) then I’d suggest trying a style that you have wanted to try like- Minimalism, Bokeh (sp), dekotora, or Visual Kei (i’ve tried this it was fun, and I like the look.)or something else. You would show them here in open thread.
I like Keric’s idea. I would go for it. Oh and btw, I was Italy with my parents. Das why I was away.
Not so much time, more like motivation and focus. I keep telling myself that I’m going to do this and that and the other. During winter, I like to have a project that (in theory) will end with a finished product by spring. If I try too many things, I give up on all of them.
I’m at work killing the clock right now. I might post a minimalist design later. Or get really faced because I don’t have to work for the next four days! Woohoo! Jaegermeister!
Option #2 sounds far more entertaining.
I can understand the Motivation issue, I really want to get into Chain mail making, I made a chain mail necklace about a year ago for my Grim Reaper Halloween costume. The problem is that while I enjoy doing it for short periods of time it can get real tedious so I haven’t gotten back into it after making that one piece.
I have a question, which of these do you think is better, the shaded version or non-shaded version?

Definitely like the shading.
Definitely like the shading better.

I vote quilting first, to stay warm while writing later. My mom quilts, and knits, and sews, and tats, and crochets. She keeps me toasty warm (even into my 30’s) while I write. It’s pretty nice.
I would suggest outline the story first, then quilt while the ideas perk, write in the spring in the sunshine. You never know–your ideas might just get more tightly plotted while you quilt, or a character that quilts might become important.
