Crafting Holiday in Derbyshire.....

I have just returned from my annual crafting holiday. This year we didn't travel far which was a good job as it snowed heavy in Sheffield last weekend! Our cottage was at Stanton in Derbyshire. It was a very relaxing week. I decided to concentrate on my first hobby, patchwork and quilting. I didn't take a scrap of paper! I spent a lot of the week designing a superking size quilt for my bed at home. I had great fun as I didnt quite have enough fabric so it meant we had to visit a few fabric shops to get more! My good friend Norma and I made a small fabric bag together, just big enough for your phone and purse.

The location was lovely we took in a few walks across Stanton Moor, stopping at the Nine Ladies Stone Circle for a photo or two. I only took the older dogs with me and they were very well behaved.
