Another quilt

 Morning all 


Today I am highlighting a quilt which took 2 years in the making it’s a kingsize quilt for my bed




I am in the process of making Sarah a quilt for her bed it’s an Irish Chain pattern and am having to do it in sections as it’s huge.   I will post again later with the cards I started making yesterday.


Bye for now

No Layers

 Well another card today go me lol.   I would like to enter this card into the Following challenge blog

https://alphabetchallengeblog.blogspot.com/



This little cutie comes from Pink Gems which I bought years ago and as I love owls thought I would use it for this challenge.   

Alan and I have had a busy day today, went to buy wood as we are building a fire surround to house our calor gas fire as the only heating we have is storage heaters and by 4 o’clock in the afternoon the heat has left them, so we bought a calor gas fire but it’s an eyesore so decided to sort it out, we only have electric in the village so this is the best way we have of keeping warm.  Will post pictures when finished.   


Am finishing off now

Catch you all again soon

Christmas Cards

 I bet by the time we get to Christmas will be sick of the sight of Christmas Cards (nah not really lol).  I love Christmas.  Have a couple of cards to show you today  the first one I made a couple of years ago and found it half finished in my stack of cards.  The rest I made over the last few days but finished them yesterday afternoon.








Well that’s it for now have to rush this morning as we have to be out the door by 10ish but will be back to show you more Christmas cards tomorrow

Hungover Hannah

 Evening all

Made a card for our youngest daughter Sarah’s friend Carole Anne who is visiting us here in Devon from London.  It’s her birthday tomorrow so I quickly made a card for her using Dr Digi’s Hungover Hannah image and coloured using Crafters Companion Triblend pen.   My colouring leaves a lot to be desired but as they say practice makes perfect (although maybe not in my case lol).   Papers are from my stash.

So here is my masterpiece lol


I have also been making some Christmas cards and will post them when I have finished them off.

Bye for now Alison x

Craft Tote Bag

 Afternoon all, 

I have had a productive day, made Sarah’s tote for her birthday added lots of bits to it.  I hope she likes it.


I also made a Christmas card this is made from a crafters Companion die.  My crafty friend Rachel gave me loads of dies a couple of weeks ago and I love this one and can see many variations of this card being made.
