AND... from the other side of the world!

I've been following Elizabeth Armstrong's Studiofelter blog for a while now, attracted by her style and her fantastic way with colour! Elizabeth is a textile artist, felt maker and teacher based in Melbourne Australia and recently she generously offered one of her wonderful felt birds as a prize in a give away draw - open to all her many blog followers (which are considerable!)


Imagine my amazement, shock and frank disbelief when on December 1st she announced that the winner was…. well ME!!! I had to read the name several times for it to register. I've never ever won anything quite like this before, let alone anything quite so "international"...  I hope that explains why I've had a permanent smile for the past few days!

This little bird is winging it's way half way across the world to the Island as I write and will come to rest on my Christmas tree one day soon.

What with the other exciting news that my Shibori cushion design is featured on the cover of the Australian FELT magazine this month - suddenly Australia doesn't seem so far away and our world (of felt) is that much smaller, cosier and a very friendly place to be in…

Thank you very much Elizabeth...

And FELT magazine too!
