I decided to take part in the latest Old Red Barn Quilt Along. These have been going for a few years now and though some of my very good blogging friends have been involved I haven’t managed to get my act together to join in before. This time it is Dolores’s turn from Deeroo blog. …
I seem to have lots of different projects on the go at the moment. Some I have already started, and some I am still waiting to start, or rather I am at the design stage still. Like the Doll Quilt Swap. You may remember, I mentioned a few weeks back that I had got in …
Yes, I know Christmas was a few weeks back but never mind, this quilt can be enjoyed all year round! If you remember, a few posts ago, I asked for help with machine quilting this quilt, which was made with the help of The Quick Christmas Bee. You were very generous with your advice and …
Well somehow I have managed to write 100 whole pages about craft stuff! It has taken me a year and a half but it still seems quite an achievement. But there wouldn’t be much point me writing anything at all if you lovely people weren’t out there reading it. So as a big THANK YOU …
Well, where have the last 2 weeks gone?! I had great plans for a lovely ‘Happy Christmas’ post with a special Christmas tree pincushion I had made.

As promised, here is the Christmas Star quilt top I got finished when I was snowbound last week. I only had another 10 blocks to make as the wonderful folks from The Quick Christmas Bee had made the other 14! (I had made the first one as a demonstration block). Thanks so much Marg, Lynz, …
Well I have had quite a week with all the snow, ice and traffic chaos up here in Scotland. I can’t be bothered to bore you with all the details, but we did finally manage to get my father on a flight home on Thursday, but that was only after 2 failed attempts to take …
First of all this is the reason I haven’t made it in to work today. Look at that snow! It certainly looks beautiful at Shangri La Farm today (especially the barn with it’s newly painted doors) but it’s not great for business because I have had to leave our shop closed today as conditions are …
Nothing much about Country Living Fair in this post, except for it is the reason I have not got much crafting to show you this week! This is the Country Living Christmas Fair held in Glasgow every year (they have one in London too), and I had a stand with my shop. I have no …
