Quilled Poinsettia Christmas Box

Good morning to all my wonderful followers and  friends and a special welcome this morning to my new follower Teresa thank you so much for becoming one of my followers I hope you enjoy my posts and  continue to visit my blog regularly.
My post today is a quilled box. I made the quilled Poinsettia shapes at the Thursday craft group I go to a few weeks ago and rather than them lying around on my desk I decided to use them and make a Christmas box. I do enjoy quilling but it is time taking but the results are always so pretty.

 I've just got back from a few days in Chester with my friends we had a great time and I'll will post a photo in my next post when I get all the photographs and can pick the nicest one.

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend the weather has been so good ,but today as I've been away I need to do some shopping boring. Then I hope to get some crafting done as I'm a bit behind and have some cards to finish and some design posts to complete.

Enjoy the weekend whatever you have planned and thank you for your fantastic comments on my Xbox card you are such kind and lovely people.

 

 

 



 

 





Easter card for Fiona and Martin

This is the Easter card I have given to  Fiona and Martin my Son and Daughter in Law. I made the quilled design at my Craft Group a few weeks ago and finished it while we were on  holiday at the cottage in the Peak District. It is a lovely Easter Design even though it takes ages to  complete. The corners are very effective. I gave it to them when they visited last weekend and they loved it.

Quilled Trinket Box

Hi everyone this is the trinket box I started at my Craft Group yesterday. Thanks to Hazel and Carol I can now achieve these quilled images they taught me everything I can now achieve. I'm sure in time this box will hold some treasure for some special person.
I'm off to the GNPE at Harrogate tomorrow with my Craft friends so hope its not too crowded and there are lots of bargains to be had.
I hope you all enjoy and support Comic Relief tonight such a good cause its dear to me as a few years ago my Contact Centre took some of the calls. It was a night to remember hard work but great fun.  I think my friends Barbara and Lorna still count pledges in  their sleep!! Enjoy the rest of the evening and as always hope you enjoy looking at my Blog.
