Sep T.A.T. Challenge || Socks and Boomerang makeover Annie Claxton 2025-09-22 | This is a collaboration with my good friend Johnny from @JustJohnnyCreations - once a month we're going to send each other a mystery object bought from a charity shop/op shop/thrift store, with a challenge to think outside the box and transform it into something marvellous, using whatever art and craft supplies we like, as well as a good helping of creativity and imagination. I've coined a new acronym for our challenge - T.A.T. stands for "Thing Awaiting Transformation :)Last month, Johnny sent me a truly tacky holiday souvenir, which I turned into a cosy miniature room scene. This month, he set me an even tougher challenge - a boomerang!! He also sent some other questionable treats, including a pair of socks, so I decided to see what I could make with the boomerang AND the socks it was a BIG challenge, but in the end I'm very happy with my creations :)What would YOU have made with the items in this month's box - share you ideas in the comments!Here's Johnny's video -Go to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community, Facebook group and all that stuff -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com
Delicious textile treats in the post! Annie Claxton 2025-09-21 | This was recorded on the day I got home from the Bazaar event in August (I'm still catching up on my happy mail videos!). How lovely it was to have THREE parcels waiting for me and all full of luscious textile treasures, handmade goodies and fun surprises from Viviana, Dot and Susanne - some for the Bonkers Quilt, some for other projects and some just because! It's a longish one, so settle down with a nice cuppa and enjoy a calorie-free Sunday feast with me :)Here's the Bonkers Quilt playlist -youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPAE7ERrO1XpkZ-x-_94oqhVtE0BBAoZ8Bazaar website -bazaarshop.co.ukGo to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community and Facebook group, where you can connect with lots of lovely creative people, share your inspirations and show us what you're making -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com
Bonkers Quilt community project || Wendy and Jodie Annie Claxton 2025-09-20 | The weeks have flown by since I recorded this, the day before I set off to meet up with some lovely friends for our Stitchy Corner at the Bazaar August Show, set in the Sussex Prairies Wild gardens. Our quilt is almost full now, covered with wonderful hand-stitched pieces from all over the world. Today I have two more beauties from the UK to share with you, along with some unexpected textile treasures.Now that the main pieces have been placed, I'm continuing with the painstaking but enjoyable process of securing all the pieces, filling the gaps, and blending everything together into a cohesive whole - later the backing will be added, and the quilt will be hand-tied and edged to finish it off, until eventually it is ready to auction for charity. I plan to do an update video once a month, to share some of the process and show you how I'm getting on, so keep watching this space and wish me luck! :)Here's the Bonkers Quilt playlist -youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPAE7ERrO1XpkZ-x-_94oqhVtE0BBAoZ8Bazaar website -bazaarshop.co.ukGo to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community and Facebook group, where you can connect with lots of lovely creative people, share your inspirations and show us what you're making -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com
Inspired by Viviana || Trying trapunto Annie Claxton 2025-09-19 | Playing with gorgeous Bazaar scraps, experimenting with different ways to add colour, texture, and form to my Underwater World, inspired by the talented Viviana Molinares. I love the way she uses fabrics, beads and thread with the eye of an artist to create her fabulous textile collages. Over the coming weeks, I shall be studying examples of her work to see if I can emulate her fabulous style - and throw in a few of my own touches along the way of course!In this video, I'm adding shape to my octopus with my own bodgey version of the trapunto technique (see link below to Marion's tutorial showing how to do it properly!), then I'm starting to add texture and sparkle with stitching, beads and sequins. Next time, I'll be moving on to the seahorse.I hope you'll be inspired to join me on this new adventure. If you missed the first videos, you can find them in the playlist linked below, and if you want to get hold of the templates I'm using, you'll find them in my Gumroad shop, also linked below.Please do share pics of your creations inspired by this project, either in our FB group and/or Discord, I would love to see your creations and I know Viviana would too :)Check out this video from @marionsworld24 to see how to do trapunto the right way -youtube.com/watch?v=j52QvywI_jwHere's a link to the templates in my Gumroad shop (channel members remember to use your discount code to get the Underwater World collection free)Octopus, Lobster and Seahorse -artyfartyannie.gumroad.com/l/UnderwaterWorldFreebie Fish -artyfartyannie.gumroad.com/l/FreebieFishHere's a link to the Viviana Molinares playlist -youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPAE7ERrO1XorAPAV-nY070VYBjT3CaHCOther YouTubers mentioned in the video - @createandcraftwithchristine @KoolKookyKreatures @Craftaartissaurus @josparadiseofcolor @kamahskreations1260 @suzieqmakes Bazaar website for the gorgeous scrap packs -bazaarshop.co.uk

Bonkers Quilt community project || Debs and Pat Annie Claxton 2025-09-13 | Four weeks have flown by since we were sitting together in our beautiful Stitchy Corner at the Bazaar August Show, set in the Sussex Prairies Wild gardens - our quilt is almost full now, and pieces continue to come in from all over the world. Today I have happy mail and not-so-happy mail to share with you - a whole collection of beautiful pieces from Debs here in the UK, and sadly an empty envelope from Pat in the US, with an apology for the loss from the USPS. I feel so bad for Pat, as I know how much care and work she put into her piece. Luckily, she did take a photo of it, so I can share that with you, and I do have an idea for a way I may be able to recreate it, so perhaps all is not lost, watch this space :)Meanwhile, I'm continuing with the painstaking but enjoyable process of securing all the pieces, filling the gaps, and blending everything together into a cohesive whole - later the backing will be added, and the quilt will be hand-tied and edged to finish it off, until eventually it is ready to auction for charity.

Inspired by Viviana || Stuffing fish and prepping octopus Annie Claxton 2025-09-01 | Playing with gorgeous Bazaar scraps, experimenting with different ways to add colour, texture, and form to my Underwater World, inspired by the talented Viviana Molinares. I love the way she uses fabrics, beads and thread with the eye of an artist to create her fabulous textile collages. Over the coming weeks, I shall be studying examples of her work to see if I can emulate her fabulous style - and throw in a few of my own touches along the way of course!In this video, I'm stuffing a fish, adding more garnish to my background, and prepping my octopus - next time, I'll be starting a new section of my fold-out book, and embellishing my octopus with stitching, beads and interesting textures. I hope you'll be inspired to join me on this new adventure.

Bonkers Quilt community project || Jen, Ali and Alyson Annie Claxton 2025-08-30 | It's been two weeks since we were sitting together in our beautiful Stitchy Corner at the Bazaar August Show, set in the Sussex Prairies Wild gardens - our quilt is almost full now, and pieces continue to come in from all over the world. Today I have some more beauties to share with you, from Jen and Ali in the UK and Alyson in Australia - all very different, all very beautiful and each one will be a uniquely special addition to the Bonkers Quilt. I'm quietly working on the painstaking but enjoyable process of securing all the pieces, filling the gaps, and blending everything together into a cohesive whole - later the backing will be added, and the quilt will be hand-tied and edged to finish it off, until eventually it is ready to auction for charity.

Bonkers Quilt Progress || Hand-stitching || August Annie Claxton 2025-08-29 | It's hard to believe that it's a whole week since we were sitting together in our beautiful Stitchy Corner at the Bazaar August Show, set in the Sussex Prairies Wild gardens - what a wonderful weekend we all had, and how fabulous our Bonkers quilt is looking already. Now it's time to start the painstaking but enjoyable process of securing all the pieces, filling the gaps, and blending everything together into a cohesive whole - later the backing will be added, and the quilt will be hand-tied and edged to finish it off. All of this will probably take some months, but I'm going to relax and enjoy the process, and I thought you might like to chill out with me, keep me company while I work, and see how our beautiful quilt evolves, until eventually it is ready to auction for charity.

If you want to check them out for yourself, come along to the show, or visit their website - but if you'd like a quick peek at what they really look like on a short, dumpy 60-something, then this is the video for you :)Bazaar website -bazaarshop.co.ukHere's the Bonkers Quilt playlist -youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPAE7ERrO1XpkZ-x-_94oqhVtE0BBAoZ8Go to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community and Facebook group, where you can connect with lots of lovely creative people, share your inspirations and show us what you're making -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com

Introducing Viviana Molinares || Planning a new textile art project Annie Claxton 2025-08-05 | We all enjoyed exploring the colourful and inspiring work of Maggie Morris last month, but now it's time for a new adventure! Welcome to the wonderful world of another inspirational member of our community - Viviana Molinares. If you haven't seen her work before, you're in for a treat, as I have lots of photos and some actual pieces to show you in this video. Over the coming weeks, I'll be looking closely at how Viviana uses scraps of fabric, beads and other materials to create her fabulous hand-stitched textile collages. I'll share techniques and tips with you, and templates will be available to make it easier if you're not confident with drawing your own. The project I have planned is quite ambitious, but you could easily adapt the ideas to create a smaller piece if you prefer. If you'd like to join me on this journey, gather up your supplies, download the templates and I'll be back in a few days to create the first background and start work on my first Viviana-style fish.Please do share pics of your creations inspired by this project, either in our FB group and/or Discord, I would love to see your creations and I know Viviana would too :)Here's a link to the templates in my Gumroad shop (channel members remember to use your discount code to get the Underwater World collection free)Octopus, Lobster and Seahorse -artyfartyannie.gumroad.com/l/UnderwaterWorldFreebie Fish -artyfartyannie.gumroad.com/l/FreebieFishHere's a link to the Viviana Molinares playlist -youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPAE7ERrO1XorAPAV-nY070VYBjT3CaHCHere's a video which tells you all about the Bazaar event I mentioned and how to join in with our Bonkers Quilt project if you're not able to come along in person -youtu.be/_wOEsTkXEskBazaar website as promised -bazaarshop.co.ukGo to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community, Facebook group and all that stuff -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com

And please do share pics of your projects in our FB group and/or Discord, I would love to see your creations and I know Maggie would too :)Here are links to the earlier videos -youtu.be/bmyM2l1GlMUyoutu.be/l1Mm7GQRU5Iyoutu.be/UJZKL1bgpF4youtu.be/vIbzPWxcWCsHere's a video which tells you all about the Bazaar event in August, where Maggie and some of my other lovely arty-farty friends will be joining us -youtu.be/_wOEsTkXEskGo to my linktree to find links to our free Discord community and Facebook group, where you can connect with lots of lovely creative people, share your inspirations and show us what you're making -https://linktr.ee/artyfartyannieIf you would like to support the channel, please consider joining as a channel member - you can become more involved and we've created some little perks as a thank you, more info here -youtube.com/@artyfartyannie/joinSome lovely people have said that they would rather support me by donating something specific, so here’s my Amazon wish list, where you can choose an item to https://linktr.ee/artyfartyanniebuy and have it sent direct from the UK to save on the shipping costs -amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1EU24AM2J71HB?ref_=wl_shareHere’s my Gumroad, where you can find patterns, templates and other fun things to download and print at home-artyfartyannie.gumroad.com00:00 - Start00:25 - Bazaar dress show and tell02:48 - Catch-up waffling05:34 - My final Maggie piece06:53 - News about the celebration giveaway08:28 - Stitching time
