Sewing is kind of my default setting 
I don't think I've yet found a textile craft that I haven't tried. Some fall by the wayside, like tatting (well named frivolite in French) which just does my head in after quarter of an hour, but some, like quilting become so much part and parcel of my life that I found other like minded people. Even on line
One of the ladies who writes really good and interesting quilting books is Barbara H. Cline. The lady is a Mennonite and she and her sisters all have blogs about their quilting and their family life.
Today Barbara posted on her blog about butchering hogs and processing all of the useable meat and fat.
I thought it might be of interest

Normally we'd import an article, but I want Barbara's permission first.
