    What an amazing find to have discovered your website, just now, from a Madeit seller who posted your link! Thank you. It has put a shine on my day. 🙂

    Your patterns are superb and the kit fabric combinations breathtaking – so such a difficult decision to make. It has been like trying to pick your favourite child scrolling down oohing and aahing from one gorgeous baby to the next!

    So whilst revamped Dilby has such a strong pull of cuteness along with the ’60’s colour popping psychedelic Giraffe in all its yumminess, followed by the courageous street cred of the Lion it is Wodger’s funkiness that just kept drawing me back and I cannot deny that first attraction I felt for him.

    So lovingly, Wodger by a whisker! :))

    I’m sooo loving Wodger the Wombat, made in ORANGE and PURPLE and TOURQUISE! I have been waiting a long, long, long time for him to arrive! I LOVE wombats! My mother was an Aussie, and I don’t know why, but, when I see a wombat, I think of her. It will be 7yrs ago, this coming June since she passed away from misdiagnosed brain cancer. 🙁 Wombats bring a smile to my face, and joy to my heart. 🙂 I know your dad is smiling down on you, ever so proud of his very creative and very generous daughter. 🙂

    Hi Pauline! I hope you got my email the other week and the pics of my daughter sewing the lambkins! I have just purchased 3 more of your patterns, so now I have 6 plus the honey bear! I love sewing them! The orphans in Romania are sure to love them. My husband goes there on April 28th and he will take all the babies I can possibly sew to the orphanages! I would love to win, Thanks so much.
