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 Facebook page 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.

Latest Updates 17/04/21
The ‘big’ news, which I am sure you haven’t missed as it is all over this website and our social media, is that we, as a family, have published a second book ‘Quilted Postcards The Flower Edition’. We have slightly got the bug for creating and publishing and so there might be more books in the future – we will keep you posted…
Looking forward, we (Laura and Sarah Designs @ tortoisecrafts) are working on new blackwork embroidery designs for releasing as patterns on our Etsy store, to go with the patterns that are already available, Square Love Blackwork Design. a Coloured Blackwork Circle Design and the Coloured Blackwork Autumn Leaf Design. As well as other Patchwork designs. The latest design Tulips Blackwork Design has just been added.
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" - "season's", has been added. My first book has also featured in the July edition of Today's Quilter as one of their "Fresh Picks"
From us all at Tortoise Crafts.
