Welcome to my website
This is the digital home of my creative life, from Quilted Postcards & Quilts, to my hobbies of Knitting, Crochet, Weaving & Embroidery. In short all things Patchwork & Fabric!
Please take time to look about and if you would like to subscribe, then please do. I have a section just for subscribers where I have details of some designs that you can download.
I now have a feed to my Instagram & Facebook Feeds right on this home page, so you can see what I've been up to making.
However long you stay I hope you pickup and take away with you just a bit of my passion for all things fabric, thread & yarn.

Thirdly, starting from Monday the 28th of June I will be starting a series of posts on Facebook, every Monday about the quilts that I have around the house. Each week I will show a different quilt, and ‘talk’ a bit about it, fabrics and techniques. Since I have been quilting for over 30 years and the house is full of quilts – those we used to use, those we still use and then those that are hidden away in cupboards!!! Tony will also add them to the website under "My Quilt Stories", 5th one now added. The series will run for a while…..
At the moment I have no news on when the classes at Fairkytes will re-start. Please check back here or my Facebook page for the latest updates.
Remember that I regularly post on Facebook and Instagram and I also do the ‘Rambles’ which can ramble off in any direction or for any length. The latest new "Rambling" - "Christmas", has been added.
From us at Tortoise Crafts, happy creating.
