A trip to the Kimberley inspired this series of kits celebrating regions across Western Australia. Each pack includes simple instructions, hand painted fabric, threads and embellishments. They are light weight and easy to post making for a great gift. If you choose one , I hope you delight in stitching it as much as I loved creating it.
Enjoy, Wendy
