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.
