“Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, Sauté it, whatever. MAKE.” ~ Joss Whedon
The Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love to create and make. From yarn (crochet, knitting), fabric (sewing, quilting), threads (embroidery, weaving), wood crafts, ceramics, artwork and anything else you create and would like to share, this is the place to do it. Sharing something you’ve created and/or made is pure joy...and we need joy in our lives!
From complete Newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced artists, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions or would like advice, there’s probably someone on the thread who would be able to help.
It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread. Knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, weaving, general crafting, art, wood working, patterns, articles on any of these topics, or even your own writing. There is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you’d like to be added to our Ping List.
NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We DO post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to other Create, Make and Share fans are welcomed any time.
Now I just need to figure out how to get directly to the link. I’m getting closer.
I love sewing on the cheap! I mean utilizing donated or thrift shop or clearance fabric to make something truly valuable! Same with knitting, I particularly like to make baby things because I can use a small amount of yarn that can’t be much used for something else and make it useful.
When I mess up on the prayer vigil post, I click on “report abuse” to ask for help in corrections. You get very fast results that way.
I am into yoyos in a big way and also make dollhouse real patchwork quilts. Waste not, want not.
I love repurposing fabrics from other outfits (or sheets) to make new items. You should show us your end result when it’s finished!
Thank you! I change the front porch decorations nearly every month. Right now I still have up my after-Christmas winter decorations, and I will probably change these out on my next nice day. Probably Sunday or Monday.
That’s really nice. I used to do that when I had a house I liked. July 4th was my favorite! I hate the house now and don’t care about decorating. Lipstick on a pig.
I will
Oh, that toddler dress is precious!
I am quite old, but still have a little dress my grandmother made for me. A teddy bearess is wearing it now, and sits where I pass by every day. Thanks, Gran!

Excellent instructions for the 20 pointed stars with print out pattern for 6” star on Etsy.com No financial interest, just a happy customer.
Such a beautiful frock! Very ‘Little House.’ Love it! :)
Love those potted hearts! Very creative. :)
The HTML Sandbox here at FR Will show you the way!

Thank you! They are made from cardboard which I covered with batting and then fabric. The branch is just hot glued to the back side and covered with more fabric to hide it. These are only outside for a month, and I store them in the basement, so they have held up for several years already. I have another version with shamrocks for a St. Patrick’s Day theme.
Also thanks for html sandbox link. Always good to have a refresher.
The hunt has been on for a knitted baby blanket pattern I like - so far, this one is leading the pack ... main body should knit pretty quickly - the borders will be trickier, but are very pretty. I'm still looking around so there's a possibility I'll find something I like better.
Only a 16 page download - LOL! She must have instructions for every single row!
Thank you. I hadn’t given up. I just grew weary of getting it wrong. I knew my link was good, I just couldn’t get the <>\/img etc, etc in the proper order.
You did great!
That’s beautiful! I never learned how to knit, and I’ve never been very good at crochet. Something I still plan on working on…one of these days.
