Handmade Christmas Pledge Update - Madeit

BIG UPDATE - The big pink quilt now has a new home, with me. Decided to buy it for myself for my birthday that was a couple of weeks ago.

This year I really want to support and show off Aussie artists and that is the reason behind having a separate Handmade Christmas Pledge update for Madeit Artists.

Once again the bright colours are what get me. They look fantastic. I think that I will be buying a quilt as my Christmas present to myself this year

This Brooch reminds me of all the patterns that I would look at as a child while at the fabric shop with my mum.

This Deer is really adorable, from the fabric to the fantastic antlers.

Handmade Christmas Pledge

Yes you did see the word Christmas. Once again we will be making the pledge to have a Handmade Christmas. The only difference this year is that there will be two posts per week. One will be made up from the wonderful goodies found on Madeit and the other will be handmade goodies from all over the net. I will also be trying to have a lot more crafty projects for you to all try out.
