Quilting, weaving, spinning, basket making, etc. What are some you'd like to learn.

Definitely handspinning, weaving, sewing, rughooking, and quilting.
I told Chelle last week that I wanted to adopt a granny to teach me all types of things.

Quilting, I've been saving fabrics for years and one of these days I'm gonna make a quilt! LOL, I've been saying that for years.
Make baskets from pine needles.
Learn to knit.
Dehydrate foods.
Make rugs from fabric scraps.
Make soap, but I'm a chicken when it comes to working with lye.

And I'd love to learn to do some woodworking like making cedar chests and elaborate birdhouses (I can make a simple one), and cute shelves, etc.

Rug making, sewing (well enough to make my own clothes) knitting, crocheting, anything my great grandmother might have done....

quilting and basket making for me. i would love to do both. spinning would be kewl too i can just see me with a spinning wheel in the guest room. that would actually look good in there when it is completed.
