Welcome crafters ...

Three things I’ve

Traditionally, the month of February is dedicated to

Valentine’s Day , and here at HQ we think it’s the perfect

excuse to share a little slice of love and happiness with

our families and circle of friends. So, as well a Kitty

Frampton’s witty Valentine’s cards (p53) and other themed

makes, we’ve got a fab selection of uplifting designs for you to try.

Firstly, make sure you check out Colette Smith’s pop-up greetings for

grown-ups, (p38). They’re just the ticket if you’re hoping to raise a smile

from a loved one! Claire Willis doesn’t disappoint either with her quilled

family set on page 72 – we had great fun photographing that! And, our new

designer, Helen Cant has made beautiful Parisian-themed jewellery (p38).

I must also introduce our fabulously-quirky family of gonks over on page

84. If you’re not yet a fan of crochet, you’ll be hooked by this cheery bunch!

Whichever projects you turn your hands to this month, make sure you

send us snaps of your makes – we’d love to see them!
