The Great Big Craft Question of 2012

Hello!

Welcome to the week. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and that you’re all raring to go. I am, sort of, but I have some things I’d like to sort out and organise before I feel that I can really get going. One of the things I’d like to plan for are the the Crafts that I am going to create, make and conquer for this year. I get so many emails asking me about various different types of crafts and requests for certain projects so I thought I’d open up the floor.

I have some projects that I know I am going to work on this year but aside from those I was wondering what you’d like to see here at Cherry Menlove?

For example -

If you’d like to see more crafts using fabrics what crafts would they be? Quilts, clothing, bags, tablecloths, etc…

Home Crafts? For example, curtains, bedding, baby blankets, nappy-bags, slipcovers, upholstery etc….

Knitting? For example certain types of stitches, various projects, how to cast-on and off etc…

Crochet? For example, how-to crochet, making crochet garlands, ripple blankets, working with granny squares etc…

Technical questions? For example you may have come across terms and techniques that have never made sense. Let me help you make sense of some of this stuff in 2012. It may set you on your way to a hobby, an interest and possibly even a passion that you never give up on again.

Sewing and embroidery? For example, how to sew certain types of stitch for certain types of effect. Samplers, cross-stitch patterns, applique etc……

And any other crafts you can think of.

Like I said some of the projects you may suggest I already have on my list, some of the ones you think of may be appearing in the future in my Sainsbury’s or Making Magazine article. I work many months in advance on both of those. And some of them may even have already been made and shot for my book which comes out this year. But I’m feeling the need to plan. And this is a nice plan to make.

Thank you so much. I’m really looking forward to this year and all the ‘Makes’. And it’s much more fun creating them knowing that at least one other person, aside from me, will be get something from them.
