Class in Alford

quilted bag

i've had this really quirky cute fabric for ages and it's been earmarked for a bag- but i could never get the perfect pattern. so since i had my machine out for other jobs i decided to bite the bullet and make my own design- i've seen very small bags online but nothing the size i wanted(i like a big bag i can get all my junk into)

i'm pleased with how it's turned out- it will be better once it's washed as the quilting will show up

ribbon rose

Wedding card commision i made- loved the subtle colours

cheap canvas from poundland, bit of stamping and sponging. i used just believe and vintage vogue (2 of my all time favorite sets) and i made a ribbon rose using the heating tecnique- i love watching it curl up in the heat

close up of ribbon rose- i wrapped ruffled up seam binding round the edge to fluff it up a bit

button canvas

i spotted a button canvas on etsy and decided to make my own, the lady used a plain white canvas but it was too white against my cream walls so i have stamped using the en francais stamp in Baja Breeze and i daubed shimmer paint around before adding the buttons(subtles). i have a pile of canvases in the cupboard so i'll be ordering more buttons

Class photos

Here are 2 of the projects from todays class, we added a greeting of choice into the frame using the basic phrases set, its such a good size for fitting into samll areas such as the frames

There was 16 ladies, i had 2 cancel at the last minute. we raised £50 for a local Cancer charity. thankyou to Fiona Cooper and Julie Archibald for donating prizes to add to the 4 prizes of stamps i put in.

class sold out!

Saturdays class id full now- it should be a busy but fun day. i had to share this photo- its my boys with a giant bird eating spider skin- it was huge!!!! we had a steady stream of kids knocking on the door when word got out we had a big creapy crawley - and i just had to scare the pants off them all with it

heres a sneaky look at our teachers presents- its a post-it note holder. very quick to make with a piece of a5 card - score in 9.5cm from each side to make a lid that flaps open. the post-its are 40p from tesco. cheap and cheerful!!

class sneaky peak

this is one of 5 projects we'll be making on Saturday 25th June, some of the ladies who have booked have askedwhat we;re doing so this is a wee taster for them.

i still have a few spaces left- but you'll have to be quick in letting me know if you want to come along. £16 for 5 projects and a raffle to raise money for a cancer charity

i also have an open house on the 1st of July at 10am and then at 7pm- again contact me for details
