Yesterday I went to Loobi Crafts in Leighton Buzzard for a Dabble Day with some friends and we made a total of 8 projects.
Anne, Cobnut Crafter was there. We first met at a Loobi class and it's the first time our paths have crossed since we started following each other. So it was good to catch up in person again.
We had a lovely lunch and lots of cake and everybody enjoyed the day very much.
Here is one of the cards we made using a new Woodware set called Embroidery Hoop.
I was so tired when I got home I didn't even lift the lid of my laptop so I am again behind with my visits but will pop in to see what everybody has been up to over the next few days.
I would like to enter my card into the challenge at Crafting from the Heart #153 (Anything Goes)

I really like the homespun look and feel to this card with the cross stitching! Beautiful!
What a lovely cross stitch card. It amazes me just how tiring it can be attending a crafty workshop - I slept for most of the evening after the last one I went to!! They are always fun though and it sounds as if you enjoyed yourself.
Love your hand stitched card Barb sounds like you had a great time

Wonderful card Barb and super stamp xx
This is so pretty and has a nostalgic look about it. It sounds like a fun day out.
Loving your card Barb. Sounds like you had a good day at the workshop but I can understand you feeling tired as they are often quite intense days but so enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the workshop with Oyster Stamp and may need a couple of early nights before then lol! Nearly forgot to say, lovely card too Lol! Happy crafty week, Angela xXx
This is fabulous, what a brilliant set and love your design and it really does look as if it is real cross-stitching.(or maybe it is)

Hi Barb,
what a very wonderful card and such a very super design too.
The items used are so very lovely and very unusual as well.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I love swing makes and I have a few of the things you used - you've put it all together beautifully. How lovely to go to a class and meet up with a blogger and get so many projects done too.
Sounds like a really great day Barb and what a beautiful card! I haven't done crossstitch for years, the eyes have gotten old, seeing your delightful card is making me want to give it another whirl.
Wow, a fantastic card Barb I love the hoop, it goes so well with the rest of the stuff you've used. I know just what you mean about being tired after the traveling.

What fabulous dies! This looks o much like a real embroidery hoop!
Wonderful card, Barb.
So glad you had a fun day and caught up once more with a blog friend. Isn't that the _best_ of a crafting day? and you got a lot done too. Love this xstitch embroidery card. The hoop & stitching look so dimensional. This is a new brand to me,and I like it very much! It's good to be tired from fun. You can always catch up later!! We all understand. Hugs & TFS
Gorgeous card, Barb, love the design. I've just been looking through all your recent beautiful creations. I'm still playing catch up with my blog visiting, after a busy couple of weeks.
How lovely to see your blogging friend again. xx
Barb - I love this! What a creative idea to use the hoop and the heart is a lovely! This has such a sweet country feel! <3
What a stunning card Barb - love the wee cross stitch accents, and the needle and thread - it all looks so three dimensional.
Blessings

Stunning card, Barb with this lovely stitching.Great design.How nice you had a good day at the workshop wit your friends.
Hugs, Sylvia x
Hi Barb, It was so lovely to see you again on Sunday and have the chance for a bit of a catch-up, although the crafting was pretty intense and we also needed time to eat all that cake! Like you, I was pretty zapped in the evening. Your card is lovely and your stitching is a lot neater than mine - so I clearly need a bit more practice. Thanks again for sharing a link to my blog. Hope to see you again at the next Dabble Day - or sooner! Anne xx
Hi Barb
What a great card! I love the theme . .. and of course the cross-stitched heart!!
Pleased you had a good and productive day.
I am way behind with catching up with everyone's blogs. Just grabbing a few minutes now before I start cutting a mountain of card for invitations and prepping for making 80 dior bows!
Hope your batteries are now back to being fully charged.
Love Jules xx
What a fabulous card Barb, love the papers you have used, perfect for the cross stitched heart. So pleased you had a lovely, crafty time on Sunday.

Super card! I love embrordery, but never thought to use it on a card...and yours looks so stunning! You can easily put this one in a frame! TFS!
8 projects? My goodness... what time did you start and finish?
It certainly looks like you had a very productive day if this is anything to go by.
Absolutely gorgeous. xxx
Holy cow! What an interesting card. How fun too. I sounds like you had a lovely (and busy) day.
So creative--love this card, Barb!
Gosh Barb, this looks just like the real McCoy and I love the gingham paper you have teamed it with. Hugs Mrs A.
