Quilty Heaven

  Well, what an exciting weekend that was, hope everyone had as much fun as I did, all will be revealed....did I get up to mischief.?......Me......as if I would...😉

I always love it when the Quilt & Stitch village comes to Uttoxeter. Getting to spend a fun day with my favourite ladies 

Enjoying a bit of hand-sewn happiness, lovely little tulips,

Seeing some amazing quilted creations

Koi by  Keta Jones

Sand in the Wind by Gunsu Gungor

And a bit of embroidery elegance

I wish I had managed to get the names of all these lovely creators but alas in my haste to see everything I simply forgot.

I can say that these wonderful creations were steeped with loving care and hopefully one day I can be on par with them.

What a fabulous day we all had. I'm already looking forward to next years Quilt & |stitch village at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

April Showers May Flowers

Now, let's get down to the serious business.....Card-Making!!!!!!!!!

Over at Fab'n'Funky challenges we have a fun theme for you

April Showers bring May flowers

Yes we want to see creations with Umbrellas and/or flowers 

And considering the weather we've been having here it is not impossible to visualise umbrellas

I really enjoyed making this one......we all need a little colour right now

These adorable little umbrellas are from my TL advent calender and so are the wellies.

The rainbow paper I've had in my stash for a few years now...(honestly not sure how long) and yes the flowery paper underneath the stand was my original plan BUT rainbows!!!!

(Ignore the messy room in the background, I desperately need a tidy up....)

Head over to Fab'n'Funky challenges and share some love with our wonderful DT. We always love seeing your creations.

Retro living

I wonder how many people remember the fabulous styles of the 80's? 

Ah those super sexy mullets and powerful shoulder-pads. No? Mix tapes?

Maybe you're inspired by lovely Georgian dress, or Art-Deco.?

Well whatever it is that takes your fancy, we are having a retro/vintage theme over at

Fab'n'Funky challenges

Yes we are celebrating all things from the past.

Personally I'm quite the fan of a good mix tape, hell we still own several.

I made this using one of my fabulous "for the love of stamps" set - Retro, so funky holographic cardstock (that I totally forgot I had) and of course Promarkers.

I have also been busy making grandbab a cut little Pokemon for her birthday

A lovely little Squirtle

I kind of gooffed, she's really into Bulbasaur and Piplup. But it was fun to make.

Any hooo, please go check out our lovely DT ladies at Fab'n'Funky challenges (link up above) and leave them some love.

Well I need to get back to working on my competion quilt......sooo nervous...

World Record

So what has everyone been up to? I've been doing some crochetting.

Well on friday 24th February 2023 the city of Derby hosted a world record attempt.

What world record? The most people crochetting in the same place.

A title held by New south wales, Austrailia with 604 people taking the record.

BUT

On the above mentioned date crocheters arrived at the Derby Arena, and not just from Derby, and not just from the surrounding area, in fact some of people travelled great distances to take part. 

One woman flew in from New York and another from Malaga, so anyone in britain how said Derby was to far.......hmm

Here are a few of the lovely people who took part

 Anyway................................

960 people

New World Record

Woohoo

  It's nice to have taken part in something so big.
