Finding a hobby

When I was in 11th grade I took a sewing class where I learned that I had a love of sewing. I loved the class so much that I took the class every semester until I graduated. It was there that I developed a passion for quilting.

My second quilt finished on my last day of Senior Year.

My first quilt I started my first semester of Junior year and finished my first semester of Senior year.

I created these two quilts as part of the final projects for the four classes. I loved doing them, as a hobby, it was simply unrealistic. Quilting is extremely time consuming, expensive (each of those quilts cost me at least $150 to make), and requires access to expensive equipment (a quality sewing machine can cost about $1500, and a quilting machine is around $5000-10000). While fun, it was almost stressful--it caused me great shoulder pain and became very tedious.

You can see all the detail that goes into sewing...I did all the stitching on a quilting machine.

The point of this story of my fallen hobby is that hobbies need to be fun and relaxing--not stressful. I miss sewing, and if I have learned anything from this experience it's that hobbies you love fall into your lap when you least expect it.
Now to my current problem: finding a hobby to try. I Googled "hobbies" and was quite amused by some of the suggestions, especially ones offered by a website claiming to hold the "Worlds Largest List of Hobbies" (my thoughts are in parentheses) --

• Bell Ringing (I'm just confused)
• Blacksmithing
• Brewing beer (is that even legal?)
• Church (really?)
• Cigar smoking 
• Dumpster Diving (Eww...)
• Glowsticking
• Hang gliding (First, I'm afraid of heights. Second, where am I supposed to find a hang glider?)
• Relaxing 
• Shopping (!!!!!!)
• Sleeping
• Texting
• Trekkie

Other suggestions include blogging(blogging about blogging??), eating out, cloud watching, and wine making. To be honest, I am less sure of what to do then I was when I started the search. I will post more later when I actually have a clue as to what I should try.
