Nature Crafts April 18, 2018
The places I love most are those deep in nature. Trees, rocks, flowers and more make me happy. I love the mountains of New Mexico. I am starting a list of Nature crafts on the Arts and Crafts page. I love taking things of nature and making keepsakes or gifts. Check out the list .

Here is a list of non-conventional tools I found at the Sewing Loft Blog, one of my favorite blogs. http://thesewingloftblog.com/nonconventional-sewing-tools/#_a5y_p=5453821
See what this site recommends for these non-sewing tools.
Pipe Cleaner Brush, Washi Tape, Wooden Stick, Forceps, Wooden Spoon, Extra Long Tweezers, Eraser, Suction Cup Soap Holder, Dental Floss, Washers, Laser Beam Tool (Yes, really! It is amazing)
I just received this list from Cactusuilters of Rincon Country West RV park. This is an amazing group that sponsors many quilting activities and charity quilting activities.
(blog, historical patterns, etc.)
(Quilt Blocks Galore)
(free patterns)
create PDF’s of quilt patterns)
(go to robertkaufman.com or to I
tunes store)
eBAY and Craig’s List Google: Art Quilts
Google: fabric designers by name (e.g., Riley Blake, etc. for free patterns) and sewing machine manufacturers by name (e.g. Janome, Viking, etc.) for info.
A Trip Along the Crafter-Net
Although they may have had to leave behind all those patterns and books, full-time RVers do not want to leave their creativity behind. In fact, many have more time available for projects. Don't worry -- take a trip along the Crafter-Net to find projects easily completed on the road. The links below will take you to a myriad of crafting sites for fiber arts, quilting, jewelry making and general crafts of all kind. The last links will help you save and organize your craft patterns and information. Computer files weigh a lot less than all those books!
Blogs
Blogs are online newsletters written by ordinary people or companies. Here you can find new projects, tips, and all kinds of ideas. Sometimes you can sign up to get the blogs in your mailbox or just visit them as you wish.
